Master of Science / Department of Architectural Engineering and Construction Science / Kimberly W. Kramer / This report, “A Recruiting Analysis for the Kansas State College of Engineering: The Financial
Prospective,” is an initial baseline report that measures the effectiveness of KSU COE recruiting.
This analysis examines the financial factor, or how students pay for their education.
Specifically, the report examines the current students in the KSU COE and how they pay for
their education and then compares the information to how college students pay for their
education on a national level which is outlined in a report, “How America Pays For College”, by
Sallie Mae using research conducted by Gallup. Next, the report examines the reasons the
current students in the KSU COE came to Manhattan to study engineering, emphasizing their
geographic background as well.
The results found were that more students in the KSU COE borrow funds to pay for their college
education than college students on a national level. Fewer students in the KSU COE or their
parents solely pay for their college education when compared to students on the national level.
To gather information on how the students in the KSU COE pay for their education, 89 current
students in the KSU COE were surveyed. The students were fourth and fifth year students
having a high probability of finishing their degree programs than first year students. After
gathering data on how this sample of 89 students paid for their education, using statistical
theory, conclusions on how all the current students in the KSU COE pay for their education
were made. These conclusions are compared to the payment methods for the students in the
national sample.
