Hello, neighbor!

Undergraduate students

Because the only thing keeping us apart is a state line, we offer undergraduate students who are legal residents of the State of Kansas the same tuition as our Missouri residents. Welcome to the in-crowd!

Students who enroll in the School of Dentistry, School of Law, School of Medicine and School of Pharmacy don't qualify for the Kansas Rate.

Graduate students

Graduate student residents of Atchison, Douglas, Franklin, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Leavenworth, Miami, Osage, Shawnee, and Wyandotte counties in Kansas are eligible for the Graduate Metro Rate which is the same as a Missouri resident graduate student.

Students enrolled at the School of Dentistry, School of Law, School of Medicine, and School of Pharmacy are not eligible for the Graduate Metro Rate or the Midwest Student Exchange Rate. Some School of Medicine Programs are eligible for the Midwest Student Exchange Program rate.

Just because you're not right next door doesn't mean we're not neighbors.

The Heartland Rate is available to legal residents of Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin.

Graduate students and students enrolled in the School of Dentistry, School of Law, School of Medicine and School of Pharmacy students are not eligible.
