About this school
University of Kansas is a public university located in Lawrence, Kansas, in a small city setting. It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission along with several program-specific accreditors, and federal financial aid (Title IV, including FAFSA and Pell Grants) can be used here. Within its broader academic offerings, the campus's trade-related programming centers on radiology and sonography programs, with 6 completers reported and a total of 2 programs in that family.
Federal data shows a median debt of $21,000 among graduates and median earnings of $61,945 ten years after entry. The statewide average completion rate is 57.3%, but this campus's own completion rate and its comparison to the state average are not reported for this campus in federal data. Annual cost of attendance is not reported for this campus in federal data. About 20.5% of students receive Pell Grants, suggesting a meaningful share of students with financial need.
Given the small number of trade completers (6) relative to a large undergraduate enrollment of over 21,000, this campus's radiology and sonography training appears to be a small program within a much larger university rather than a dedicated trade school. Career changers interested in this path should confirm program length, format, and admission requirements directly with the school. To verify accreditation status and review the latest federal outcomes data, consult the Higher Learning Commission and the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard.
