Introduction

The number of UK students who studied abroad for credit during the academic year 2015-16 increased by 8.8% to 1,195

enrollments. Approximately 18.08% of the 2016 graduating class earned credit abroad at some point during their UK

education.

The majority, or 61.3%, of UK students chose destinations in Europe, which is higher than national averages. United

Kingdom was the most popular destination, followed by Spain, Germany and Italy. Together, the College of Arts and

Sciences and the Gatton College of Business account for 40.2% of the total education abroad enrollment. The College of

Design enrolled the largest proportion of its students abroad. UK Sponsored programs enrolled 43.6% (521) of education

abroad participants, followed by UK Partner programs at 21.2% (253). Sixty-three UK students participated in UK

Exchange programs. The data suggest that minority student participation has remained robust in UK’s Education Abroad

programs. In spite of these positive trends, the University of Kentucky ranks last among its benchmark institutions with

regard to education abroad participation.

For the purposes of this report, UK education abroad enrollment is compared to national enrollments as reported in the

Open Doors report published annually by the Institute of International Education. Open Doors 2015 reports on

enrollment during the academic year 2013-14, and is the basis for comparisons in the present document. The 2016 Open

Doors report for 2014-15 enrollment will be released in November 2016.

UK Education Abroad also provides services to participants on education abroad programs not enrolled in academic

credit. During 2015-2016, UK Education Abroad supported 210 non-credit participants, not included in this enrollment

report. Non-credit group travel is tracked by UK International Health, Safety & Security.

Program Enrollment by Region & Program, For Credit

Popular UK faculty-directed programs in Africa have continued to lead enrollments to this region of the world,

particularly to South Africa. Similarly, UK Sponsored programs have sustained enrollments to Asia as well. The

most popular programs in Europe include the CCSA London Winter program, Engineering’s programs in Karlsruhe

and various faculty-directed programs. Enrollments in Latin America are led by credit-bearing options via Shoulder to

Shoulder Global. Oceania enrollments remain modest, but are growing with the popularity of the Bluegrass Down Under

programs.

Student Classification, at Time of Being Abroad

At 40.3%, seniors account for almost half of total enrollment while juniors account for 28.5% of total enrollment. This

is not surprising as most students typically wait until the summer after their junior year to study abroad. Priority on first

and second year programming in the coming years will likely shows gains in underclassmen participation.

LGBTQ

Unfortunately, UK does not collect data on sexual orientation. Data available via the Student Experience in the Research

University (SERU) survey based at the Center for Studies in Higher Education (CSHE) at the University of California,

Berkeley, suggest that LGBTQ students are more likely to study abroad compared to their peers. UK Education Abroad

does not collect this data at the time of application, but does ask students via a voluntary pre-departure survey. On

average, about 5% of students do identify as LGBTQ.
