About Our Students
Students from Kentucky, across the U.S. and, increasingly, from international points of origin enroll at the University of Kentucky to live and learn in the heart of horse country. From a customizable undergraduate equine degree to targeted graduate opportunities and from career-building enrichment activities to opportunities for sport and recreation through one of nearly a dozen equine clubs and teams, there is no better place to pursue a passion for the horse in a meaningful way.
