High School Students to Explore Studies, Careers in Design

High school students will get to explore careers in design through the Summer Career Discovery Program, an intensive two-week program being held at the University of Kentucky College of Design from July 10-22. The program, open to rising high school juniors and seniors, will introduce students to the depth, breadth and rigor of a design education, including the study of architecture and interior design.

Admission into the Summer Career Discovery Program is regulated through a selective admission procedure. Students will be selected according to the merit of their cumulative GPA and the quality of their statement of interest (see application for directions). The application and essay must be mailed to the UK College of Design by July 1. If you are admitted into the program you will be required to pay a $1,200 tuition fee. This fee includes the cost of housing and meals. After the fee is processed you will receive forms for parental consent and a packet with additional details about the program.
