Background
Wichita State is Kansas' only urban-serving research university and offers a traditional college atmosphere in an urban environment. In addition to the Department’s innovative programs, WSU is renown for a strong engineering program that attracts international students as well as a thriving fine arts program.
The College of Education is home to 55 full time faculty with around 1800 graduate and undergraduate majors. The college is housed in three campus buildings, one of which is Frank Lloyd Wright designed and was fully renovated with new state-of-the-art learning technology in 2007. The college also houses the Center for Research and Evaluation Services.
The Wichita metropolitan area, with a population area of more than 500,000, has a sizeable culturally diverse population. The city offers outstanding opportunities for academic and professional development and has a spirit of inventiveness from the aeronautics industry. There is an active arts and cultural community and is also an easy drive to Kansas City, Oklahoma City, and the Ozarks’ resort areas. It is a great place to raise a family with a school system that offers parental choice options, sporting venues, and many activities for children. Median house prices are significantly lower than in other parts of the country as is the cost of living overall. Wichita has large city amenities with a small town feeling.
