As the oldest and largest of Wichita State's eight undergraduate colleges, the Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences offers the widest range of degree programs combined with the limitless resources and real-world experience opportunities only found in Kansas' largest city. Our graduates enter the workforce well-equipped and go on to diverse careers in everything from journalism and criminal justice to geology and history.
Real-world experience
One of the many advantages of a Wichita State education is the ability to get hands-on work while still going to school. Fairmount College majors have success securing high-profile and prestigious local, national and international internships from the likes of Aetna, FBI, Reptielenhuis De Aarde (Netherlands), U.S. Senate and the YMCA. The Shocker Career Accelerator serves as an additional powerful resource to help students with resume and interview prep, internship and post-graduation placements, and all else needed to transition into the workplace. wichita.edu/appliedlearning
