HISTORY


Citizens of central Kentucky have long realized the need for Christian education. In 1900 the members of the Russell Creek Baptist Association, in a meeting at Salem Baptist Church, Campbellsville, Kentucky, appointed a committee to raise funds for building a school. Work progressed steadily, and in 1907 a building was completed and opened for class work as the Russell Creek Academy. The academy grew and expanded. Improvements were made in the curriculum; new departments were added, the faculty was enlarged. The institution of Russell Creek Academy became Campbellsville College in 1924. In 1933, Campbellsville was among the first to be admitted to the newly organized Kentucky Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. In 1949, the College was accredited by the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges as a junior college.
In October 1957, at the meeting of the General Association of Baptists in Kentucky at Harlan, Kentucky, the Board of Trustees of Campbellsville College was authorized to execute its proposal of expanding Campbellsville College into a fouryear institution. In December 1963, the College received membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) as an accredited liberal arts senior college.
In December 1994, the Commission on Colleges, acting on the recommendation of the Committee on Criteria and Reports for Institutions at Levels II-VI, approved Campbellsville College for Accreditation at Level III, the offering of the Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction.
In April 1996, the Board of Trustees changed the status of the institution to that of Campbellsville University. It is now organized into one college and six schools. The Campbellsville University Louisville Center provides primarily non-traditional students the opportunity to complete their degrees in several areas of study in the metro area of the country’s 16th largest city.
As it entered the 21ST century, the University continued its growth in student enrollment, academic programs and facilities. Enrollment exceeded 3,000 for the first time in the fall of 2010. Construction of separate men’s and women’s Residence Village has met the growing need for student housing. Expanded athletic programs were aided by the addition of three new structures and the addition of lights to the baseball and football fields. The Winters Dining Hall and the Davenport Student Commons opened in 2005. The Ransdell Chapel was completed and dedicated in 2007.
The University has approximately 340 full-time faculty and staff. There are 47 major buildings, including the Hawkins Athletic Complex, the E. Bruce Heilman Student Complex and the Technology Training Center. The Clock/Carillon Tower provides symbolism and sound to the campus community. WLCU 88.5 FM, the University’s first broadcast radio station signed on the air in 2011.
Enrollment at Campbellsville University is anticipated to average over 3,300 for the foreseeable future where faculty, administration, and staff encourage students to strive for excellence in all areas of life and to seek an integration of Christian faith in living, leading, and learning.
