A “New Frontier” –
Introducing the Versailles, Ky Campus

Frontier Nursing University is thrilled to announce we are acquiring a new campus in Versailles, Kentucky. While we cherish our historical roots, we have reached a pivotal time in our 78-year history, recognizing change is needed in order to keep up with increased enrollment and meet the needs of our students. We are excited to continue fulfilling Mary Breckinridge’s vision of educating nurses to become competent, entrepreneurial, ethical and compassionate nurse-midwives and nurse practitioners in order to improve health outcomes for mothers, babies, and families in rural and underserved areas, now from this new campus location.

Take a look at some of the details below:

• Where: The 67-acre Versailles, Kentucky campus will remain in a rural county while also being conveniently located less than 10 minutes from the Lexington Bluegrass Airport and accessible from major highways.
• When: Renovations will start with the office buildings and continue through the dining, education spaces, welcome center, and housing. The offices should be ready for occupancy by administrative staff in the fall of 2018. Our target is to have Frontier Bound sessions on the new campus in early 2019. A more specific and precise schedule will be made available soon. Our target is to have all on-campus student sessions at the new campus.
• Why: While we cherish and honor our historical roots, we recognize change is needed in order to continue to advance and lead the way in nursing and midwifery education. The Hyden, Ky, campus reached its maximum capacity for enrollment, and traveling to Hyden has presented many challenges. The Versailles campus will allow FNU to continue to expand our enrollment and program offerings in order to meet the growing demand for access to quality healthcare nationwide, especially in rural and underserved areas.
