The Office assists UK students in bridging classroom theory with professional practice. All programs are elective and offered year-round. Students participate in Experiential Education for many reasons. Some wish to explore career alternatives and gain valuable work experience. Others participate in order to test theories they have learned in the classroom.
All internships are faculty-supervised.
Some positions are paid. The UK Service-Learning Program encourages students and faculty to incorporate community service as part of the college experience. Volunteer positions are structured in a service-learning format to encourage students to reflect on these experiences. The Shadowing Program is non-credit, giving students the opportunity to follow a working professional for a day. Information gained from this experience can be most helpful to students making career decisions.
