Graduation Information
"Congratulations on your graduation!
Much is made today about the value of a college education. According to research by the federal government, the economic value of a college education can be measured as follows: “… a high school graduate can expect, on average, to earn $1.2 million over their lifetime; those with a bachelor’s degree $2.1 million; and people with a master’s degree $2.5 million.”
But more important than increased earning power, is the intrinsic value of a college education. Indeed, the ability to think critically, communicate clearly, work with those of differing perspectives, and have a larger world view are all critical components of a college education. In college you begin to build a professional network, attain transferable skills, incorporate professionalism and a work ethic into your character, and learn how to integrate knowledge from different areas.
As you accept your diploma at the commencement exercise, I hope you will reflect on your impressive accomplishment of obtaining a college degree from Kansas State University’s College of Business. Our hope is that we have provided you with a clear path to success regardless of the career you choose.
