ECTC and WKU announce new human resources degree partnership
Elizabethtown Community and Technical College and Western Kentucky University are expanding their partnership with an expanded academic pathway.
ECTC Provost Dr. Telly Sellars and WKU Gordon Ford College of Business Dean Dr. Evelyn Thrasher formally signed a memorandum of understanding on Tuesday which added a new Bachelor of Science in Management: Human Resource Management at WKU in Elizabethtown.
According to a release from WKU, the new educational pathway begins at ECTC where students will earn their Associate’s Degree. The students will then transfer to WKU to complete the Bachelor’s Degree. The program’s curriculum is aligned with “the world-leading Human Resources Society’s standards” and WKU’s Gordon Ford College of Business is accredited through AACSB international.
The new degree program combines online and face-to-face coursework to allow students to complete their degree closer to home while gaining practical, career-ready skills. WKU says U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that “employment in human resources-related fields is projected to grow faster than the average for all occupations in the coming years.”
Registration for the Fall 2026 semester is open. Visit ECTC’s website for more information on enrollment and the WKU in Elizabethtown website for more information on degree programs.
