Kansas State University will recognize more than 1,500 degree candidates during fall commencement ceremonies on Friday, Dec. 12, in Manhattan and Salina, and Saturday, Dec. 13, in Manhattan. Students completing degrees in both summer and fall 2025 will be honored.

This fall, the university expects to award about 1,050 bachelor’s degrees, 350 master’s degrees, and 100 doctorates, with 70 students earning multiple degrees or majors. More than 300 graduates are completing their programs through K-State Online.

To create a more unified, student-centered experience, K-State is piloting a new structure that combines undergraduate ceremonies by grouping graduates from several academic colleges into three events on Saturday. An Army ROTC commissioning ceremony will also take place. This streamlined approach is designed to enhance tradition while improving efficiency for students and families.

A full schedule and details on parking, accommodations, and livestream options for the ceremonies will be available on the K-State graduation website.
