One of the central tenets of our land-grant university's original mission statement from 1863 is a pledge to teach military tactics. That pledge has held fast for more than 150 years, and today Kansas State University is home to the state’s largest military population in higher education. Our commitment to serving those who serve is made clear through our military research, active connections with military partners and alumni, and service and outreach programs with Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth. We’re proud to offer important support services that help military-connected students and their families find success.
