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

• Students leave ESU with the lowest student debt of all 4-year public universities in Kansas.
• ESU has been named a College of Distinction five years in a row for our high-quality academic programs.
• Our smaller average class size means students won’t get lost in the crowd + they have opportunities to get to know their professors and classmates.
