K-Plan Outcomes
We recently surveyed all alumni with doctorate degrees to find out how their K College education contributed to
their decision to attend graduate school and to their success there.
What we learned was that weaving experiential education,
via the K-Plan, into a
liberal arts curriculum
• Creates an environment that encourages students
to learn experientially
• Provides experiential components that enhance
traditional classroom learning
• Fosters development of students who embody
critical thinking and connected knowing and who
are self-directed, life-long learners |

“Mix together bright, curious minds, inspiring instruction, demanding curriculum, mind-expanding experiences, and open nurturing and
supportive environment, and young adults get jazzed about life’s possibilities, life’s big questions, and they develop a will and
confidence to go out and answer them!”
