OLATHE — Eleven students are completing their degree program at Kansas State University's Olathe campus during the 2025 spring academic semester.

"We're so proud of each and every one of our graduates," said Ben Wolfe, dean and CEO. "We look forward to seeing our number of graduates grow as we add new programming that continues to advance our strategic initiatives, build community, transform lives and provide pathways for our students to reach their full potential.”

This semester, we’re congratulating our students and celebrating as enrollment trends upward. Currently, K-State Olathe has 204 students enrolled in graduate and undergraduate programs.

As we bring in new programs, we’re working hard to create a space where students can enhance their career opportunities, develop their professional skills and complete academic programs right here in the Greater Kansas City area.

This fall, K-State Olathe will begin offering a M.S. in Animal Nutritional Health and an Industry Analytics Track in the M.S. in Applied Biosciences program.

Numerous undergraduate programs also are moving through various approval processes and have tentative 2026 launches. Our degree and certificate programs will be in a variety of areas, including applied and interdisciplinary studies, diversified agriculture, electronics, industrial automation and engineering technology.
