General education
The K-State 8 general education program helps students widen their perspectives, explore relationships among subjects and build critical and analytical thinking skills. K-State 8 exposes students to a broad range of knowledge in different academic areas.
The program shapes well-rounded thinkers and helps prepare students for careers, graduate school and other post-graduate experiences. Each student must successfully complete credit-bearing courses/experiences to cover all of the K-State 8 areas.
