By Train or Plane
If traveling by train, book a ticket to Newton, home of one of only a few Amtrak stations in Kansas. Now through Dec. 8, 2008, Amtrak is offering a Campus Visit Discount, which allows high school juniors and seniors visiting a college campus to take one parent or guardian along at half price. Visit the Amtrak Campus Visit Discount page for details on the offer. If traveling by plane, arrive at Wichita's Mid-Continent Airport and you'll have only a 30-minute drive to our campus. If needed, transportation to and from the airport or train station can be arranged with your admissions counselor.
