Kansas State University earns raves as one of America’s “best value” public colleges: The Princeton Review ranks it as #5, and Consumers Digest rates it as #16. K-State got its start in 1858. Five years later K-State became the first college in America to be officially designated a land-grant school. 

SOME FACTS

Undergraduate colleges: Arts and sciences; engineering; business administration; education; agriculture; human ecology; architecture, planning, and design; and technology and aviation (K-State at Salina).

Graduate study: The Graduate School offers 65 masters degrees, 45 doctoral degrees and 22 graduate certificates in multiple disciplines across campus. More than 200 undergraduate majors and options are available.

Students: More than 23,000 from all 50 states and more than 90 countries.

Financial aid: More than $151 million in scholarships, grants, loans, and work study is distributed each year.

Locations: The main campus is located in Manhattan, Kansas. The “Little Apple,” with a population of 49,000, is a classic college town with a zoo, a mall, 21 parks, and a recreation trail that circles the city. The College of Technology and Aviation is located in Salina, home to the Smoky Hill River Festival.

Achievements: Its two campuses cover more than 800 acres of land.

K-State ranks first nationally among state universities in its total of Rhodes, Marshall, Truman, Goldwater, and Udall scholars since 1986. Their students have won more than $2 million in those five competitions and have earned K-State a place among the nation’s elite universities.
