Graduate Student Success
When choosing a graduate degree, many potential students want to know what types of jobs previous graduates taken or how successful the program is. One way to evaluate the quality of our graduate students is though their initial employment after completing their degrees.

I credit that not only to the current award winning faculty, but previous faculty that helped build and maintain the K-State Agricultural Economics brand that we are known for today," said Dr. Dustin L. Pendell, Agricultural Economics Professor and Director of Graduate Studies.
