Graduation Rate
University of Kentucky graduation rate is above the national average.
62% of full-time students enrolled for the first time to University of Kentucky completed the education program and got a degree in 150 percent of the expected time of completion.
The graduation rate value includes only programs that were completed less than six years for four-year degrees or less than three years for two-year degrees.
Graduation rate is the percentage of institution’s new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes an extensive number of students. This index doesn’t consider students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading picture. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare institutions.

Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™It's a teaching hospital and most of the staff go above and beyond.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™As a graduate from the University of Kentucky I can truly say it is a wonderful campus. I loved the quality in education, the activities, and the student center. Everything has been recently upgraded and alot of buildings are brand new. 4 years here went by extremely fast, but I treasure the memories. The campus life is peaceful, and the basketball games at Rupp Arena are always so much fun and just a few streets down from the university. There are a plethra of resturaunts surrounding all sides of UK so there is always someplace new and exciting to eat.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Overall a very wonderful university. There is so much UK has to offer. Their push for more research is welcomed to help Kentucky and the world solve problems and fight disease. I must say there is so much diversity at UK and each college has their own culture while being a part of the larger university culture. Professors are generally caring and knowledgeable. Facilities are for the most part very modern and well-kept. Students are given access to vast resources and opportunities. Academic, athletic, and artistic study, research, practice and learning are all championed here.
