About Kansas Independent College Association

Mission Statement
The Kansas Independent College Association (KICA) develops and enhances the competitive standing of its 18 member independent, nonprofit, regionally-accredited, degree-granting colleges and universities and strives to assure opportunity and choice in higher education for all students.

Among the main purposes and activities of KICA are:

to assist member institutions with information, staff expertise and other appropriate resources, including the administration of grants for the collective benefit of member colleges;
to provide collective information about independent higher education in Kansas to public and private bodies as appropriate;
to represent the interests of the independent college sector to the media, the general public and other audiences;
to negotiate or provide a variety of collective services for member institutions in an effort to realize efficiencies of scale to reduce costs; and
to collect, analyze, interpret, and provide basic information about the member colleges individually and collectively as an aid in their institutional planning.

KICA, founded in 1976, is a 501 (c) (4) not-for-profit Kansas corporation.
