About K-State and Manhattan
Kansas State University was founded February 16, 1863, as the first land
grant university in the nation created under the Morrill Act of 1862.
K-State became a comprehensive university in 1960 and offers more than
250 undergraduate majors, 113 master's and PhD programs, and 16
certificates. Over 23,000 students are enrolled at K-State, with
approximately 1,200 faculty members and 4,700 staff.
Manhattan is a small city that seems much larger in ways due to the
presence of both a major university and a large military base. Situated
in the Flint Hills region of Kansas, Manhattan offers a wide variety of
cultural, athletic, and outdoor activities, as well as a friendly and
inviting civic atmosphere.
Kansas State University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity
Employer strongly committed to diversity. We value qualified candidates
who can bring to our community a variety of backgrounds and experiences.
