CLASSES STARTING SOON AT KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY-SALINA

August 11, 2003

SALINA – Enrollment and orientation for new students is coming to an end at Kansas State University-Salina as the university prepares for the start of fall classes on Wednesday, Aug. 20.

“ We are still enrolling students in courses,” said Dixie Schierlman, associate dean of student life. “People considering taking classes this fall are definitely encouraged to meet with our admissions staff very soon, before classes begin.”
The College of Technology and Aviation, located on the Salina campus, offers nearly a dozen degree programs, as well as a variety of general education courses and continuing education offerings. The associate and bachelor’s degree programs include areas of engineering technology, as well as aviation maintenance, professional pilot and business.
“ Our degree programs are centered on hands-on applications of learning in a small, personal environment,” Schierlman said. “There are tremendous opportunities for job placement right after graduation, but we also have people from Salina and nearby communities who will enroll in a class or two for professional development or personal enrichment, without pursuing an actual degree.”
The College of Technology and Aviation is one of the smaller colleges in the K-State system, usually averaging approximately 1,000 students. The admissions office may be reached by phone at 785-826-2640 or 1-800-248-5782 (toll free in Kansas), or by e-mail at admiss@salina.k-state.edu..
