What does Campbellsville University offer in terms of athletics?

Campbellsville University competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, or NAIA, and is also associated with the National Christian College Athletic Association. Its varsity opportunities span sports such as football, basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, volleyball, swimming and diving, track and field, and wrestling.

Varsity participation involves team selection and scheduled competition; it should not be confused with informal recreation or a student-organized sport. The university also reports activities including archery, bowling, cheerleading, and other sports, but applicants should check the current athletics roster and campus offerings to determine a particular activity's status. Interested athletes should ask the relevant coach about recruiting, eligibility, and any aid rather than assume a place on a team or a scholarship.

What student groups and Associations are available at Campbellsville University?

Campbellsville University reports opportunities to join student government, academic and professional groups, cultural associations, and faith-based organizations. Examples include the Student Government Association, International Student Association, Black Student Association, Baptist Campus Ministries, and a nursing society identified as KANS.

These groups serve different purposes: student government represents student interests, professional groups connect peers in a field, and cultural or religious groups provide community and programming. Because organization activity can change with student leadership and membership, the current student-activities directory is the best guide to which groups are meeting and how to join or start one.

Who studies at Campbellsville University?

Campbellsville University reports total enrollment of 10,836 students across its institution-wide offerings. That total should not be mistaken for the number attending classes or living on the main campus at one time; it includes students in the university's wider range of programs and delivery formats.

Reported first-time, degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduate enrollment was 548, alongside 214 transfer-in students. In geographic reporting, 68% of students were Kentucky residents, 17% came from other U.S. states, and 15% came from other countries. These figures describe enrollment origins, not the composition of every class or campus.

The reported student-to-faculty ratio is 19 to 1. As with total enrollment, that institution-wide ratio cannot tell an applicant the size of a particular seminar, laboratory, online section, or clinical group.

How does student life look like at Campbellsville University?

Student life at Campbellsville University combines residential campus activities with a substantial commuting population. Reported figures place 45% of students on campus and 55% commuting, so opportunities to meet peers may depend on whether a student remains on campus after classes or participates through an online program.

The university reports a student newspaper, student-run radio and television, theater, marching band, and choral groups. It also reports a health clinic and personal or psychological counseling. For a prospective student, the key distinction is between institution-wide availability and access at a particular location or in a particular course format; service hours and participation rules may differ.

What libraries are available to students at Campbellsville University?

Montgomery Library is Campbellsville University's named main library. Students can use library study space and research resources, and reported services include reservable study rooms.

For coursework, the most useful questions are how to access databases and journals from off campus, obtain research assistance, and locate materials not held locally. The university reports two campus libraries, but students should check the library directory for each location's collections and hours. Reported library study areas are not open around the clock, so students who depend on late-night space should check current schedules.
