Students who choose UK Engineering frequently say that visiting campus was the biggest factor in their decision. The welcoming atmosphere and the abundance of activities, clubs and events make this community feel like a close-knit family.
Engineering Information Sessions are one-hour meetings with a UK Engineering Recruiter to learn about our engineering program, scholarships, co-ops and internships, housing, and more. You’ll also tour the engineering facilities.
In addition to coming to campus for an engineering visit, we encourage seeing the rest of our beautiful campus as well. The UK Visitor Center offers general information sessions and campus tours Monday through Friday (and select Saturdays) all year long.
Engineering Grand Tours allow families to learn about our engineering program, scholarships, co-ops and hear directly from professors and students. You’ll tour state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories as well as stop by the engineering residence hall. Grand Tours occur most Mondays from September through April. Fall 2025 dates will be posted in August.
