Teach Abroad
UK faculty members are increasingly interested in embedding global experiences into their otherwise residential courses so as to leverage the international scope of the course content, to provide students with real-world learning opportunities and to foster meaningful intellectual and intercultural experiences. UK Education Abroad & Exchanges (UK EA) is eager to partner with you to develop innovative programming that engages your students in understanding their disciplines within a broader, global context.
Partner with one of UK's affiliate providers to develop a faculty-directed program abroad. Working with your department and college leadership, you determine the academic course(s) to teach, student learning outcomes, location and dates of travel. UK EA will connect you with a reputable affiliate partner that will support your academic goals and arrange your on-site logistics.

If you have significant in-country experience and an established network of support, you can develop your program abroad. Working with your department and college leadership, you would select the course(s), location and dates of travel. UK EA would provide the framework for you to develop your program, establish your budget and promote your program.

University of Kentucky is an institutional member of several consortia and you can teach through these organizations. The Kentucky Institute for International Studies (KIIS) and the Cooperative Center for Study Abroad (CCSA) regularly utilizes UK faculty to teach on their programs. You may also be invited to develop new programs, work as on-site coordinators or serve on their governing boards.

Through the Center for Community Outreach, UK Alternative Service Break (ASB) programs connects students with service projects in communities beyond the borders of Kentucky. ASB aims to provide experiences that are educational and cultural, and that promote active citizenship among the campus community.
