I'm considering applying to Kansas State University for Animal Sciences. Does anyone have any opinions on their online schooling program?

I am the military student services coordinator for Kansas State University, retired Army and K-State Alumni. I took many on campus and online courses through K-State before I retired and an currently enrolled in classes. THough the university does not charethree times as much as other schools, K-State is rated in the mid-range regarding cost when compared to other universities across the nation. Taking classes online will cost mort than the TA rate of $250 per credit hour so you will need to plan for that. I recommend using the Pell Grant, scholarships, or savings to cover the remaing costs. The class quality is very high. K-State does not hire adjunct professors for online courses. Adjunct professors are basically freelance teachers. They may or may not have in-depth experience in the topic they are teaching. The online classes at K-State are taught by the same teachers who teach on campus. The class standards, learning outcomes, and assignments are the same. Syllbi are adjusted to account for the online learning community and modes of communication adapted as well. K-State is a great school based on my experience as both a student and now an employee. If you have specific questions about the program I recommend you call or email. The points of contact for most programs are very helpful and informative. I am just one of several people in academic and military student support ready to help out.

I would do some comparisons concerning cost and look at advantages and disadvantages. Might want to check Penn State animal sciences. Good Luck SrA Melissa Chiles!

I graduated From KSU completing most of my classes on-line. The class lectures via camera was like being in a classroom and the class participation was excellent. The instructor's were second to none. KSU caters to Military and they worked with me during my deployments. I would choose KSU again!!
