At UK, we recognize that it’s not only what you learn, but where you learn. We have invested $2.7 billion over the last decade to transform our campus into a state-of-the-art space that promotes deeper connection, comfort and learning. Take our Gatton Student Center, which has become a favorite gathering space for all of our students. Or our residence halls - all built within the last 15 years. UK is one of only eight universities in the nation that has agriculture, engineering, law, medicine and pharmacy on one contiguous campus. So, go. Discover what’s wildly possible.
“I love that the University of Kentucky spans far beyond your four years here as a student. The UK community, both past and present, welcomes you in as a Wildcat. It is founded upon lifting each other up to help one another succeed and that foundation is evident throughout my time here as a student. ”
