The Office for Experiential Education advocates learning by experience in a real world setting. It assists UK students in bridging classroom theory with professional practice. All programs are elective and offered year-round. All internships are faculty-supervised.
Students do internships 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. The UK Service-Learning Program encourages students and faculty to incorporate community service as part of the college experience. The program structures volunteer positions in a service-learning format in which the student is encouraged to reflect on the experience. The Shadowing Program is non-credit, giving students the opportunity to follow a working professional for a day.
