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—200+ majors and options, 23,000 students, Big 12 sports, and more—with a surprisingly affordable pricetag.

Consumers Digest (2004) ranks K-State’s as America’s #16 best value among public colleges. K-State’s out-of-state tuition might surprise you: it may 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.
