The University of Kansas (KU) is a public research university. It is funded by the state of Kansas and part of the Kansas Board of Regents system. Established in 1865, KU offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs across its campuses in Lawrence, Kansas City, Overland Park, and Wichita.
As a public institution, KU receives state funding, which helps keep tuition lower for in-state students compared to private universities. It is known for its strong academic programs, particularly in fields like education, engineering, and healthcare, and contributes significantly to research and public service.
