University of Kansas announces fall 2014 candidates for degree

KANSAS CITY, KAN. ---- The names of nearly 1,250 candidates for degree from the University of Kansas this fall — representing 57 Kansas counties, 36 other states and 24 other countries — have been announced by the University Registrar.

Because KU conducts only one formal Commencement ceremony each year, many of these graduates will return Sunday, May 17, 2015, for the university¹s 143rd Commencement.

However, some schools and programs conduct fall recognition ceremonies, which can be found here. Diplomas are officially conferred in January 2015.
