University of Kentucky

Program Info

The University of Kentucky is a large public research university located in Lexington, Kentucky, a mid-sized city in the heart of the Bluegrass Region. Lexington is widely known as the horse capital of the world, surrounded by rolling pastures, horse farms, and a landscape that gives the area its distinctive character. The city blends a college-town feel with the amenities of a regional hub — a walkable downtown, a growing restaurant and music scene, and easy access to outdoor recreation — while remaining more affordable and less congested than many larger metro areas. With the university at its center, Lexington offers student-athletes a setting that pairs big-time SEC athletics and a comprehensive academic experience with the community feel of central Kentucky.
