Introduction University of Kentucky Education Abroad & Exchanges, a unit within the UK International Center, produces an annual report of the previous academic year’s participation in education abroad programs. This report highlights historical trends in enrollment, comparisons by academic college, destination trends, student demographics and rankings alongside UK’s benchmark institutions. For the purposes of this report, education abroad enrollment at UK is compared to national enrollment, as reported in the Institute for International Education (IIE) Open Doors Report. In 2018, IIE Open Doors reported enrollment for academic year 2015-16, and is the basis for national comparison in this report. In 2017-18, UK EA established four priorities to guide strategic planning through 2020: Maintain positive enrollment growth, increase access to students traditionally underrepresented in education abroad enrollment, support University and Provost priorities and raise awareness about the value of education abroad. Health, safety, security and risk management also remains a priority, ensuring that student support abroad, crisis communication and emergency response protocol is reflective of national best practices.

2017-18 Participation Highlights:

• The number of UK students who studied abroad for credit during the academic year 2017-18 increased by 6%, to 1,189 students from the previous year (pg 3);

• Approximately 17.7% of the 2018 graduating class earned credit abroad at some point during their education, which is still exceeds the national average (pg 3);

• The College of Arts & Sciences account for the largest portion of total enrollment at 24.7% (pg 6);

• The College of Design graduates the largest percentage of students with a global experience at 46.7% (pg 7);

• UK enrollment in Latin America exceeds the national average, but enrollment in Asia is less than national average (pg 15);

• The percentage of racial or ethnic minorities who participated in education abroad exceeds either UK’s total percentage or the national participation average (pg 16).

UK EA also provides services and support to participants on education abroad programs not enrolled in academic credit, but the data in this report is only reflective of those enrolled for-credit. To be consistent with national data reporting, non-credit bearing students, non-U.S. students and non-degree seeking students are not included in the UK EA annual enrollment report.

In sum, 2017-18 has been a significant year for growth and establishment of best practices for Education Abroad & Exchanges. UK EA priorities build upon campus-wide internationalization efforts to anticipate future growth and further align UK EA priorities with the university’s strategic plan.

1 The figures found in this report may not match previous reports as a new and more accurate data model was used this year. These rates are calculated using Institutional data and are subject to fluctuation. Data only represents students pursuing an undergraduate degree. 2 CPE, or Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education, establishes policies and guidelines on definitions and parameters for the data being collected by postsecondary education institutions to ensure the data that is submitted is based on the same interpretations, and therefore, comparable. CPE’s definitions might differ from UKY’s definitions, resulting in different totals.

3 UK Faculty-Directed Programs are directed by a UK Faculty member. The students earn UK credit for the courses taken abroad. These programs vary in length from short-term winter or summer programs or can also include a travel component that is embedded into a regular, semester-long course. 4 UK Partner Programs are arranged by partner providers who specialize in creating education abroad programming for students. Students are not required to have any foreign language abilities, and they earn transfer credit. Providers also supply pre-departure and on-site support services for students as well as the program features such as guaranteed housing, airport arrangements and excursions. These programs are available during all terms. 5 UK Consortia Programs are developed by consortium organizations based in the Kentucky region. UK students are able participate

in summer or winter programming taught by faculty from around the region and include students from nearby institutions that earn

either UK credit or transfer credit. 6 UK Organization Programs encompass the UK international programming through Shoulder to Shoulder Global and Alternative

Service Breaks. These opportunities are facilitated by UK faculty, staff and students. It is possible for students to participate in these

programs either for academic credit or not. The travel components take place during winter break, spring break and over the

summer. 7 UK Independent Programs encompasses all international health-related rotations and practicums, as well as all international independent study and research opportunities. All students earn UK credit for these programs. 8 UK Exchange Programs enable students to attend universities with which the University of Kentucky has agreements both in the

U.S. and around the world. Students take courses in English or the host language and earn transfer credit. The majority of these

programs are set-up as semester or academic year options, but there are a few programs available during the summer as well. 9 UK External Programs enables students to go abroad on programs that are not in the official UK Education Abroad Portfolio. Students have to petition in order to be able to apply for these programs. Each petition is reviewed individually. Students earn transfer credit. 10 UK Direct Programs allow students to enroll directly in a host institution abroad and pay their tuition. Students will earn transfer

credit for any courses taken at the host institution. Some programs offer classes in English, while other programs require students to

be fluent in the host country language.
