Local students awarded degrees from Fort Hays State University

 HAYS – Local students are among the 2,061 who completed associate, bachelor’s or graduate degrees at Fort Hays State University in the spring 2015 semester.

Degrees are listed with majors and, in parentheses, areas of concentration. Where the major is included in the degree name, it is not listed separately.

FHSU does not release the lists of undergraduate and graduate degrees until transcripts have been verified as having met all requirements for graduation. This is a labor-intensive process that delays FHSU’s release of names by several weeks.

Area graduates are arranged alphabetically by home county and city or state and city.
