Parents and Guardians

At Emporia State, our mission is preparing students for lifelong learning, rewarding careers and adaptive leadership. We understand we can’t do that alone. Whether you’re a parent, aunt, brother, friend — you are an important part of your student’s journey! To help you help them, we’ve assembled resources to guide your student toward success.

Why ESU

• ESU has a consistently high career outcomes rate of 98% over 4 years. That means students are getting jobs in their field or going on to further study within six months of graduation.
• Students leave ESU with lower student debt than state and national averages.
• ESU has been recognized as a College of Distinction eight years in a row for our high-quality academic programs.
• Our smaller-than-average class sizes mean students don’t get lost in the crowd and have more opportunities to connect with their classmates and instructors.
