Kenyon Keys unlocks the connections between what you learn in class and the dynamic forces shaping our world today — data, health, democracy, globalization, this planet that we share and the creativity it inspires. It complements any major, minor or concentration. With no additional requirements, you can curate a portfolio of courses, internships and other experiences — from research to service to study abroad — connecting your academic and career interests with the impact you hope to have on the world.

Expansive in Every Way

Not bound to a major or classroom or even to campus, Kenyon Keys expands how you see complex questions — and sharpens the way you answer them.

How It Works

Even before you declare a major, you can explore one or more Kenyon Keys. Join a Key Community to get regular updates on activities, or simply look for opportunities keyed to themes that interest you.

Key Themes

By linking opportunities thematically, Kenyon Keys helps you find courses, events and other activities on and off campus related to your interests.

Key Opportunities

Kenyon Keys opens you to experiences that stretch and test you — research and fieldwork, internships and externships, opportunities in the local community and farther afield.

Key Communities

Kenyon Keys connects you to students, faculty and alumni with shared interests, opening wide the possibilities that come from being part of a community committed to being a force for good.

With Kenyon Keys, students unlock experiences that matter, skills that transfer, and a personal narrative that resonates in the world today.
