Welcome

The College of Health Sciences (CHS) at the University of Kentucky works to ensure the education of skilled, compassionate health sciences professionals, who are the foundation of our nation's health care system. We educate students in nine disciplines with 90 undergraduate students, 300 master’s students, 60 clinical doctorate students and 40 Ph.D. students.  Disciplines in the college include:  Athletic Training; Clinical Leadership and Management; Clinical Nutrition; Clinical and Reproductive Sciences; Communication Sciences and Disorders; Physical Therapy; Physician Assistant Studies; Radiation Sciences; and Rehabilitation Sciences Ph.D.

The faculty is deeply committed to educating outstanding students to become skilled caregivers and leaders in their fields who will, in turn, change the lives of the patients and families they serve.

Of the undergraduate students that earned their degrees from the College of Health Sciences in May 2008, 76 percent  graduated with honors.

With 58 faculty in the new Wethington building and 406 community-based faculty, CHS offers top-quality education and a supportive environment, wherein students are respected for their contributions, as well as providing a balance of education, research, and community service.

CHS has made a major commitment to building an internationally recognized research enterprise. As evidence of our commitment, CHS has been ranked in the Top 20 for research among allied health colleges in the nation, according to the National Institutes for Health. We are honored by this recognition and will continue to reach for new heights in research.

All of our projects have a strong translational component such that research will lead to novel intervention and rehabilitation strategies to improve health and function by reducing illness and disability.

We embrace diversity and demonstrate a firm commitment to fostering an inclusive community of shared learning with the goal of preparing students to be leaders in a global society. Our students and faculty also benefit from shared learning opportunities through our strong international exchange program.

Whether you are a prospective student, faculty or staff member, or if you are already part of the UK family, we invite you to learn more by exploring our site. Welcome!
