OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS

Why K-State?

Students from around the country make the Little Apple their college home. They come for a “big school” college experience—250+ majors and options, 23,500 students, Big 12 sports, and more—with a surprisingly affordable pricetag.

K-State’s has been recognized as a "best value" among public colleges, and our out-of-state tuition might surprise you: it might even cost less than paying in-state tuition at home.

K-State also offers special exchange programs that let you attend at the in-state tuition rate.
