By facilitating cross-cultural connections we create opportunities to develop a sense of belonging at UK.

Library services

UK Libraries provides ever-expanding access to quality information resources, teaching and learning programs and services, and excellent learning spaces. UK Libraries plays an essential role in the University’s goal to elevate the quality of life and enhance the intellectual and economic capital within Kentucky.

Medical services

University Health Service is your source for employee and student health care. The physicians are board-certified in family practice, internal medicine, gynecology/genitourinary care (GYN/GU), psychiatry, and occupational medicine. In addition to the physicians, the nurse practitioners have certification in family medicine, women's health, psychiatry and emergency medicine.

Campus life

What's it really like to be a Wildcat? In a word – awesome! The University of Kentucky can provide you with a world-class education, filled with the possibility of new ideas and learning experiences that will prepare you for the future. But life on campus also offers plenty of other experiences beyond what takes place solely in a classroom.

Living on campus makes it easy to meet new people who share your interests; UK's Living Learning Program allows you to live and study subjects and topics with other students right in your residence hall. Outside your room, you can explore dozens of great dining options ranging from home-cooking to international fare.

Sports facilities

The Club Sports at the University of Kentucky provides opportunities for students‚ faculty‚ and staff who desire a more in-depth sports experience than is provided in the Intramural and/or open recreation program. 

The focus of the Club Sports blends the aspects of learning new skills‚ practicing with club members‚ and possibly competing with other clubs. It also provides a great opportunity to meet new people and become more involved with campus life at the University of Kentucky.

Student clubs

Getting involved in a student organization is not just fun and games (though they are a lot of fun); it's about making you a happier and more successful Wildcat. Research shows that students who are involved with a student organization are more connected to their university and perform better in the classroom. And with more than 450 student organizations, there's an activity for you at the University of Kentucky.

The University of Kentucky is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award Associate's, Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral Degrees.
