"I chose EMU because it gave me the opportunity to experience a four year college with one of the best nursing programs."
Year after year, Larks migrate east to join the Royal family at EMU. We love our Hesston students because they arrive with a thirst for adventure and seamlessly integrate with the campus community. Early in the fall semester, it is not surprising to see a recent Hesston transfer already crafting lattes as a barista in Common Grounds Coffeehouse, running for a senator position on Student Government, starting a special interest club, screaming their lungs out at an epic soccer game, or exploring the mountains nearby. EMU starts to feel like home very quickly. Feel free to explore the admissions process at your own pace. If you choose to enroll, your adventure has just begun.
We make it easy for Hesston students to submit all application materials to be considered for admission. This includes:
Remember to file FAFSA and send to EMU. We are able to send a comprehensive financial financial aid notification to you in January.
