About
History
In 1866, the University of Kansas welcomed the first class of 55 students to an unfinished building on a treeless ridge called Mount Oread. The once barren landscape has grown into a wooded campus considered one of the most beautiful in the nation.
Education
KU has 13 schools, including the only schools of pharmacy and medicine in the state, and offers more than 370 degree programs. Particularly strong are special education, city management, speech-language pathology, rural medicine, clinical child psychology, nursing, occupational therapy, and social welfare. Students, split almost equally between women and men, come from all 50 states and 105 countries and are about 15 percent multicultural.
Research
KU, one of only 34 U.S. public institutions in the prestigious Association of American Universities, is a major research university with a distinguished record of research collaboration promoted through independent, multidisciplinary research centers that focus on common themes.University Research Centers and InstitutesResearch Center and Institutes Portal

The best university in my country
Mile beyond average in graduate studies
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
Well, I just received my admission letter and I am yet to start my graduate education at the noble University of Kansas so I have little experience to share. However, the programmes offered in the school, the state of Kansas, quality of education and the low crime rate in my opinion makes the school a top-notch and ideal institution to study.
