Midway University
About
Located in the heart of Kentucky’s historic bluegrass region, Midway University is a private institution best known for its premier equine studies programs, which utilize a fully operational, 200-acre on-campus horse farm. Beyond its renowned equine science and management majors, the university’s strongest academic pathways lie within its highly regarded pre-licensure nursing program and its career-focused business administration majors. The campus culture is exceptionally tight-knit and active, driven by a student body where a vast majority of undergraduates participate in competitive NAIA athletics or equestrian show teams. What truly sets Midway apart is this unique combination of a vibrant athletic culture, its history as Kentucky's last all-women's college (now fully coeducational), and its ability to offer personalized, hands-on learning in a picturesque, rural setting.
