See Blue

When you think of the University of Kentucky, we want you to "See Blue" and imagine the potential — and the possibilities — in store for you.

At UK, we're home not only to powerhouse basketball and the best of intercollegiate athletics, we're also nationally ranked in more than 70 academic programs. We're charting an aggressive and exciting path toward becoming a Top 20 public institution, one that's conducting groundbreaking research in cancer, Parkinson's disease and diabetes.

We're one of only seven schools in America with prominent professional and health programs — medicine, pharmacy, nursing, design, law, and agriculture — all on one campus.

There are more than 300 clubs and organizations from which to choose, to find your niche and your neighborhood in which to belong. You can live with students who share similar interests in engineering, the arts, international travel, literature, languages and public policy.

You can walk in the footsteps of renowned astronaut Story Musgrave, acclaimed actress Ashley Judd, Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche or Metropolitan Opera star Gregory Turay.

You can sit in a classroom and learn from New York Times No. 1 bestselling author Kim Edwards, play pool with UK President Lee T. Todd Jr. before finals at the Midnight Crunch Brunch, and, yes, catch a basketball game at Rupp Arena, home of the seven-time NCAA champion Wildcats.

And, in Lexington, you can live, work and play in a growing city with great local and regional music, eclectic restaurants and the best in racing at famed Keeneland.

When you See Blue — and open yourselves to all UK has to offer — you become part of a community of scholars and learners dedicated to helping you realize your dreams.

See Blue — it's a lot of things. But most of all it's about understanding how you can harness the power of your own dreams and your potential.
