AN ACT relating to comprehensive universities.

This bill would expand the types of advanced degrees that three Kentucky public universities are allowed to offer. Specifically, it would let Eastern Kentucky University offer a doctorate in osteopathic medicine, Murray State University offer a doctorate in veterinary medicine, and Western Kentucky University offer up to five research doctoral programs. Who it may affect: students seeking professional or doctoral degrees in Kentucky, and communities that may gain access to more locally trained doctors and veterinarians.
