The K-Plan
Go where your curiosity takes you.
Academic Study
Find your niche—or niches.
Explore across 30 majors, 21 minors, and 12 concentrations, with minimal gen ed requirements. Discover new ideas in small classes where accomplished scholars and artists teach every course and know every student.
Experiential Education
Put your curiosity to work.
Through career development, internships, civic engagement, and undergraduate research, you’ll graduate with more than knowledge; you’ll graduate with experience
Study Abroad or Away
Become a local, somewhere new.
Choose from more than 50 immersive programs across 25+ countries. Study abroad for one, two or three terms—your K financial aid will travel with you. K students don’t just visit the world; they become global citizens.
Independent Research
End with something original.
Working closely with a faculty advisor, you’ll design a capstone project—typically a thesis, creative work, or performance-around the questions and ideas that matter most to you.
