KU Edwards Campus

Why go back?

Students at the KU Edwards Campus in Overland Park go back to college for a variety of bachelors and masters degree options.

What’s a Degree Worth?

We know what you’re thinking. How will a degree help advance your career? Is finishing a bachelor’s or earning an advanced degree really worth the time, money and effort?

  • College graduates earn an average of $23,000 more annually than high school graduates. Master’s degree holders on average can earn an income of $2.5 million over a lifetime (age 25-64).*
  • More jobs require specialized skills, knowledge and practical training that only an undergraduate or graduate degree can provide.
  • Competition for good jobs continues to increase. Gaining additional qualifications provides an edge.
  • Attending university classes helps you function and learn from others in an open, team environment, something many employers value.
  • What you learn in class can often be applied at work the next day. You can boost your company’s bottom line and your value as an employee.
