Apply to the University Honors Program

Both incoming students (those currently applying to the university) and students already enrolled at K-State are welcome to apply to the Honors Program. The process is slightly different for those two groups.

Prospective/Incoming Wildcats

As you apply to Kansas State University, the application for the Honors Program is connected to the broader application process for university admission. In the university application, you will be asked: Are you interested in the University Honors Program? Answer "yes" to that question to create the Honors application as an item in your "to do" list in that same application portal.

Selections

For incoming freshmen, applications are reviewed holistically (no set metric for GPA or for standardized test scores). We are looking for students who will:

• Maintain a 3.5 or higher GPA at K-State.
• Enjoy/do well in an Honors course with Honors peers.
• Strive to get the most from their undergraduate experience.

Transfer students are required to have a 3.5+ cumulative GPA from their prior institution.

If students were involved in an Honors program at their prior college of university, we are interested in accepting Honors transfer hours towards partial fulfillment our our UHP requirements. Review the UHP transfer policy for more details.

Current Wildcats

If you are already enrolled and taking classes at K-State, we are always happy to see applications from current students. Current students are required to have a 3.5 cumulative GPA at K-State and complete the online application.

If you are in your first semester (have not yet earned a GPA) but are interested in joining the UHP, email ksuhonors@ksu.edu so that we can help you figure out what would be most appropriate.
