Within its statutory responsibilities, Eastern Kentucky University seeks to provide intellectual and cultural opportunities that will develop habits of scholarship and intellectual curiosity, provide a deep understanding of American democracy and the citizen's role in maintaining its strength and vitality, impart an understanding of humans and their aspirations, enable effective and efficient communication, and prepare productive and responsible citizens.

Eastern Kentucky University, with its emphasis on teaching and learning, has been a college of opportunity for generations of Kentuckians. More than 70,000 degrees have been awarded on the Richmond campus, and EKU graduates have distinguished themselves in virtually every profession. Thousands of other Kentuckians have been influenced by Eastern, either through participation in extended campus programs or public service and research activities conducted by the University's faculty. The roots of present-day Eastern go back to the founding in 1874 of Central University. The Central University campus, which had served from 1901 to 1906 as the grounds for Walters Collegiate Institute, became the physical plant for the Normal School, with the establishment of Eastern Kentucky State Normal School No. 1 in 1906 on the old Central University campus.
