Innovation Campus Opportunities

The Innovation Campus gives Wichita State students opportunities for applied learning and research experiences that others schools just can't match. With a growing list of partners and a focus on interdisciplinary research, our students can work side-by-side with top professionals while still in school, building contacts, confidence -- and a strong resume. 

At its core, the Innovation Campus is all about students — they represent both the campus’ greatest resource and the primary motivating factor behind everything it does. Corporate partners are here because they understand the benefit of interaction with our students' enthusiasm, energy and new ideas. That collaboration gives our students a major advantage after graduation through tangible resume experience and a professional network that will help them begin their career sooner and advance faster.
