At K, athletics is designed to enhance the student experience, not distract from it. That’s why student-athletes come to K from across the country to compete on and off the field. Your coaches will work closely with you to develop your leadership, personal growth, time management and academic excellence. As part of a legacy of champions, you’ll also benefit from a connection to an engaged alumni network that offers mentorship and insight into a wide range of professional paths.

By graduation, K student-athletes leave with more than competitive experience—they have the skills, perspective, and relationships that prepare them for lifelong achievement.
