Our Beautiful Campus

Wichita State's 330-acre main campus is a wonderful mix of cutting-edge facilities and ivy-covered brick in a park-like setting. Our classrooms and student housing are just steps away from restaurants, coffeehouses, sports facilities and cultural attractions, with more on the way in the new on-campus Braeburn Square development. Best of all, our proximity to business and industry partners puts you right next door to applied learning opportunties like internships, mentorships and co-ops.
