University Honors Program
Welcome to the home page for the Kansas State University Honors Program. This program is designed to provide opportunities for motivated and talented students to enhance their education not only within the university but also within the community and at an international level.
Initiated in January 2006 and recently approved by Faculty Senate (click here to view the overall credit requirements for the program), this exciting opportunity for undergraduates is designed for students within each of the colleges in the university. The University Honors Program is a dynamic and vibrant part of the university community, providing exceptional students with exceptional experiences. Please feel free to explore our web site and the university site to learn more about us. Questions or requests for further information can be arranged by contacting us.
As a part of the Introduction to the University Honors Program class this fall, we had a special speaker visit the univeristy. Christiane Leitinger, Director of "Pennies for Peace," spoke on Thursday night, September 4 to a large crowd in the Ballroom of the Kansas State University Student Union. She has been involved in the Central Asia Institute (founded by Greg Mortenson, lead author of the book "Three Cups of Tea") for the past 12 years. Ms. Leitinger is standing between Dr. Stephen W. Kiefer, Director of the University Honors Program and Roxana Ortiz, Administrative Assistant. In the background of this photo, you can see the rugged mountains of the Karakoram Range in Pakistan where Mortenson began his work in building schools for remote villages.
