“；These programs allow students to earn a globally recognized credential right here in Kansas City,”； 研究生院 Dean Christine Getz said. “；They combine an advanced disciplinary specialization with opportunities to diversity skills in preparation for a variety of careers in academics, industry, government, education and the nonprofit sector.”；
The programs won’；t just benefit students. As Kansas City’；s university, the impact to the city and larger region is always top of mind when new opportunities are considered.
“；When we consider new academic programs, we determine if there is a need in the Kansas City region and how the program will benefit the community,”； Chancellor Mauli Agrawal said. “；We’；re particularly excited about the opportunities for research that our new Ph.D. programs will provide, including bringing more funding and jobs to the community.”；
The new degree programs will help move the university toward its 获得卡内基研究中心地位的目标 that would designate the university as having very high research activity. R1的指定将使它更容易雇用更多的优秀教师和吸引更多的学生。 它还有助于提高国家声誉，从而获得更多的研究资金，并与社区中的其他R1机构和组织建立伙伴关系。 Only 146 universities –； or 5% –； in the country have R1 status, and none currently do in the Kansas City region.
“；The new degree programs better identify the areas in which faculty and students are already researching and working,”； said Jennifer Lundgren, provost and executive vice chancellor. “；We expect that this clarity will us recruit high-quality faculty and students, as well as boost our research opportunities.”；
