Regents announce new degree data tool
The Kansas Board of Regents announced the launch of “Kansas DegreeStats,” a free resource that provides reports on various degree programs in the state, at Wednesday’s meeting.
The tool, which can be found on ksdegreestats.org, details the costs associated with the programs as well as on the earnings of Kansas graduates. It was built in response to Kansas Legislature interest in requiring a “degree prospectus” for each Kansas postsecondary degree program, according to the board’s press release.
The break down includes information on the typical resident tuition and fees; living and school expenses; program time investments; financial aid; and, with assistants from the Kansas Department of Labor, graduate wage information.
