Eighteen Great Choices

The students, faculty, administrators and parents at Kansas’ 18 private colleges and universities are proud to be private. We are proud of the standard of excellence set by those who came before us, and we’re proud to embrace that tradition and continue to uphold it. We believe that there is a Kansas private college that is right for your student.

Choosing a college is a big decision for students and parents alike. From core values and available curriculum, to athletic programs and activities, to financial aid and scholarship programs, to classroom size, campus safety and general atmosphere, the list of criteria to be evaluated is as varied and diverse as the students themselves.

The next four years, or thereabouts, will influence your student in ways that go far beyond career placement. Their college experiences, both in and out of the classroom, will have an impact on decision-making, character, friendships, values, leadership, and much, much more.
