Hey folks! I'm a junior in high school in Kansas and math is my passion. Does anyone know what the best colleges in Kansas for a Math major would be?
Hello!
Given your interest in majoring in Mathematics, there are quite a few good schools in Kansas that you might find suitable. One of the top colleges in the state is the University of Kansas (KU). Highly ranked both regionally and nationally, KU has a respected Mathematics department that offers a diverse range of coursework in various mathematical disciplines including Algebra, Geometry, Analysis, and Statistics.
Kansas State University (KSU) in Manhattan, Kansas, is another commendable option for undergraduate studies in Mathematics. The institution's Mathematics department is known for its in-depth curriculum and research opportunities, providing you an excellent chance to delve deeper into subjects of interest.
Wichita State University (WSU) can also be an excellent option, with its comprehensive Mathematics program that offers various Special Topics courses allowing for exploration into more specialized areas of Mathematics.
You might also want to consider smaller liberal arts colleges like the highly-ranked Baker University, which has good STEM programs including Mathematics.
Remember, the "best" college will ultimately depend on what you're looking for in a program—whether you want large or small class sizes, the opportunity to conduct research, availability of specific courses, etc. You should consider visiting these colleges (if possible) and talking to students or professors to get a feel for the environment and opportunities available. Comparing curriculum maps, research opportunities, and departmental resources can also help you make a decision that aligns with your academic goals.
