What colleges and universities in the "Bluegrass State" lack is access to major metropolises. But this is part of the draw for many students. If you prefer peace and quiet, then perhaps Kentucky schools might appeal to you as well. They offer you a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of city living. Instead, you can study in a nurturing environment surrounded by beautiful plains, rolling farmland, and stunning natural beauty. For some, this is the ideal setting in which to pursue higher education.Your degree in education or teaching can open doors to careers in kindergarten through high school (K-12), curriculum coordination, educational leadership or specialty fields, including pre-kindergarten, child development and special education.
