From its settling as a territory and its beginning as a state, Kentucky was always a complex place, a mix of Southern, Northern, Midwestern, and Appalachian cultures that formed into its own proud, often headstrong mixture. The birthplace of both the Union and Confederate presidents, and the only slave state to remain in the Union, Kentucky has always just been itself. Only a fiercely independent state could have invented both its own signature liquor (Kentucky bourbon) and a whole genre of music named for it (bluegrass music). And while Kentucky remains a largely agricultural region that makes most of its income from natural resources, energy, and manufacturing, it is also an image of how the Great Plains and Appalachians are transitioning from their pasts into the future - especially is education.

As Managing Editor Carrie Sealey-Morris explains, "the best colleges and universities in Kentucky have played a big role in developing  the commonwealth's uncommon personality." "Some of Kentucky's highest-ranked liberal arts colleges, including Transylvania University and Georgetown College, stretch back to the earliest days of the United States and before," Sealey-Morris explains, while "others, like Centre College and Berea College, were intended to break boundaries and build progressive leadership, setting Kentucky on a path to cultural and social influence." Alongside all of Kentucky's excellent liberal arts and Christian colleges, "Kentucky has developed an impressive system of public regional universities" that have the social and civic responsibility to "meet the growing needs of Kentucky's high school graduates, professional students, and working adults." Whether they are focused on career training, research, or professionalization, Kentucky's colleges and universities "have maintained an emphasis on practical education in the fields that Kentucky's people need the most, earning reputations for excellence, value, and social improvement."

College Consensus is a new approach to college rankings. We combine the latest results from the most respected college ranking systems with thousands of real student review scores from around the web to produce an aggregate College Consensus rating for each school.
