Kansas State University
Kansas State University, founded in 1863 as the country's first operational land-grant institution under the Morrill Act, has built one of the strongest agricultural and veterinary medicine programs in the Great Plains region, reflecting its founding mission serving Kansas's significant agricultural economy. The university's grain science and industry program is one of the only standalone degree programs of its kind in the country, drawing directly on Kansas's position as one of the nation's largest wheat-producing states, and K-State's college of engineering has built a solid regional reputation. K-State's football program's rise under longtime coach Bill Snyder, transforming what had been one of the least successful programs in college football history into a consistent conference contender, is widely regarded as one of the most remarkable turnarounds in the sport's history. The university's combination of genuine founding-era land-grant seniority, its specific strength in grain science reflecting Kansas's agricultural economy, and its dramatic athletic turnaround under Snyder have made K-State a distinctive complement to the University of Kansas within the state's public university system.
VS
Benedictine College
Benedictine College, formed in 1971 through the merger of two earlier Catholic colleges founded by Benedictine monks and nuns, maintains an active on-campus abbey and monastery, giving the small Atchison, Kansas college a level of direct daily monastic religious presence unusual even among Catholic colleges. The college's explicit commitment to Catholic identity and its core curriculum grounded in Catholic intellectual tradition have made it one of the most academically and religiously traditional Catholic colleges in the Midwest, drawing students specifically seeking that particular combination. Benedictine's enrollment has grown substantially over the past two decades, a notable trend at a time when many small religious liberal arts colleges nationally have faced declining enrollment, reflecting the college's success in attracting students specifically drawn to its traditional Catholic mission. The college's combination of an active on-campus Benedictine monastic community, its explicitly traditional Catholic intellectual curriculum, and its notable recent enrollment growth has made it one of the most distinctive small Catholic colleges in the Midwest.
