Safe and friendly, it boasts international cuisine, extensive outdoor recreation, shopping, and a thriving arts scene. KU students will have easy access to the capital city of Topeka and cosmopolitan Kansas City. Both are less than 40 minutes away and offer shopping, culture, entertainment, and thriving businesses that provide corporate connections for internships, employment, and career-building experiences. Whether their dream is to study architecture, run a business, invent the next Google, or teach in an urban school, KU has a program for your students. Undergraduates can choose from nearly 200 programs in 13 different schools. The richness and depth of what KU offers ensures that all students have opportunities to explore new fields while gaining mastery over a focus area. One of the great benefits of the American university system is having doors open to its students. Exploring new fields is expected, so we encourage students to dive into a topic they’ve always been interested in. Do research. Participate in an internship. Or acquire a new skill through volunteering. Take a course simply because you’ve heard the professor is amazing. KU’s faculty is one of its greatest resources, and students can learn much from their passion and expertise. When it comes to preparing for the future, KU’s Career Accelerator has the services and support your students will need. From applying for graduate school to preparing for interviews, career counsellors are there to guide them. The Career Accelerator is designed to help students through educational resources, experiential activities, and reflection. Students may apply to participate in this integrated program upon entry to KU.
