Many undergraduates participate in research alongside UK’s world-class faculty. This high impact learning experience allows undergraduates to explore career options and set themselves apart for graduate or professional school or employment.
The STEM Through Authentic Research and Training (START) program at UK is creating a unique pipeline to promote careers for underrepresented populations, first-generation college students, and girls and women in STEM. START is funded by a five-year, $1.3 million Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences.
