See Our Progress

If you attended Wichita State in the 2000s, chances are you wouldn't recognize the campus today. Beginning in 2012, a new mission and vision led to rapid expansion, with dozens of new buildings and renovation projects, new housing and campus life initiatives, and public-private partnerships with a growing list of businesses to support our firm commitment to applied learning, innovation, creativity and research.

Best of all, we're just getting started.
