Kansas has approximately 85 colleges and adult education institutions, and almost 200,000 people enrolled in those schools. Although more than half of the U.S. states have more colleges and enrollees, it's a fairly high percentage of the Kansas population that attends the school (they rank 9th in the country for this metric at just a bit over 7.3%).
The SAT scores required for attending colleges in Kansas that require them is not that demanding as Kansas is only one of 3 states in the country where the average SAT score is under 465. However, there are selective schools in the state, such as Wichita State University, which is also only one of four colleges with more than 10,000 students. The others are the University of Kansas (with more than 25,000 students, Kansas State University, and Johnson County Community College.
In fact, in 2005 there were 15 community colleges in Kansas. Also, of note is the large number of smaller schools with 10 to 12 having fewer than 100 students. Many of these are personal care schools, including hair styling and cosmetology schools, with more than a dozen personal care schools active in the state.
