Welcome to the Great Plains Studies Certificate Program
This program brings together students at Wichita State University and the general
public to experience and study the region known as the Great Plains. With classes
drawn from the sciences, the humanities, and other fields, the program explores this
region in both its cultural and natural aspects. The program also encourages reaching
out and connecting to other organizations that celebrate and support awareness of
the Great Plains, as well as related regions such as the American Midwest, the South
American Pampas, and the Asian Steppes.
The Certificate Program consists of both undergraduate and graduate components.
