The University of Kentucky will be recognized worldwide for excellence in teaching, research and service. UK will provide the support needed to ensure that all members of the UK community can be engaged effectively in international education and research. Every student will develop a broad international perspective through curricular, co-curricular, on-campus and/or off-campus experiences.

A university education, no matter what the field, needs to integrate learning that helps students become globally-aware, and globally-competent. A globalized curriculum is a strengthened curriculum and one that aligns with the realities of our inter-connected and diverse world.
