University of Kansas (KU) is a public research and teaching college with one main campus and multiple satellite campuses. KU offers high-tech laboratories, interactive classrooms, and several performance venues and athletic arenas. The university's illustrious alumni include the inventor of basketball, Pulitzer Prize winners, astronauts, governors, artists, and a Nobel Prize winner.
Often referred to as "the castle on the hill," KU's scenic main campus of red-roofed buildings and forested hills is located at the top Mount Oread in Lawrence, Kansas. The KU has strong academic programs, and offers more than 190 undergraduate majors, numerous master's level degrees and more than 12 graduate and professional doctoral degree programs.
History
KU was founded in 1866 as The Kansas State University. The university's first major building was completed in 1872. Old Fraser Hall, designed by renowned architect John G. Haskell, came to symbolize KU. This structure was, however, later torn down due to structural problems.
In 1873, 23-year-old Flora Richardson became the university's first female graduate. She was also class valedictorian that year.
