Welcome to our military-inclusive university!
Kansas State University is home to the state's largest military population in higher education. It's easy to see why when you look at the ways we help soldiers, veterans and their families feel at home. Military-connected students have been a cornerstone of our campus for 150 years. K-State is recognized nationally year after year for its military inclusiveness.
Our faculty relate to the needs of military-connected students. Many of them have research that's connected to the armed forces, from making the meals soldiers eat in the field safer to improving marriages impacted by deployment.
The main campus in Manhattan is a 15-minute drive from Fort Riley. We have outreach programs on post as well as at Fort Leavenworth. Our staff, academic programs and current student groups work together to make K-State friendly and accessible. Ready to get started?
