Kansas State University
Manhattan, KS

K-State’s history department offers courses dealing with a range of time periods, places, and topics. The school is particularly known, however, for its strength in military history, and the staff includes several published scholars. The university operates the Institute for Military History and 20th Century Studies -- a national center devoted to the historical study of public policies concerning national security, international affairs, and government institutions. Kansas State also houses the World War II Studies Association and the Chinese Military History Society. Proximity to the Truman and Eisenhower Presidential Libraries provides additional opportunities for research and educational experiences. The university also maintains alliances with nearby Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley. K-State likewise has a solid program in agricultural/environmental history, as might be expected at a land-grant school in a state known for animal and crop production (though students can choose other regions to explore). The Chapman Center for Rural Studies is dedicated to researching, preserving, and sharing the history of rural Kansas – including construction of a website of lost Kansas towns. History students who enjoy hearing notables speak are in luck. K-State is home to the prestigious Landon Lecture Series, which brings global leaders to campus several times a year (past speakers have included U.S. presidents). The history department’s own Eisenhower Lecture in War and Peace invites internationally acclaimed historians to give a talk, lecture in specific classes, and participate in question and answer sessions.
