General Education Requirements for Transfer Students

Transfer students who transfer to Kansas State University from accredited two-year or four-year institutions are required to complete a minimum number of University General Education credit hours at Kansas State University.  the minimum number of University General Education credit hours required is based upon total number of completed transfer credit hours accepted at K.S.U. as shown below:

Each transfer student is required to complete a minimum of six credit hours of K.S.U. upper division University General Education courses (300 and above) as specified in the program in which they will graduate.

Any Agriculture student who has completed 8 or more transfer credit hours that are accepted at K.S.U. is not required to meet the multiple category requirement described in the college of Agriculture General Education Policy.

College of AG General Education Policy

The College of Agriculture General Education Program assures that all undergraduate programs provide breadth through the completion of at least 18 semester hours of approved general education courses/experiences of which one-third of those credits will be at the 300 level or higher.

Any student that begins courses at KSU and/or begins transfer work Fall 1997 or later will be in the general education program.  any student that has KSU and/or transferable credit prior to Fall 1997 will not be required to participate in the general education program.

To insure breadth, General Education courses are required in at least four of the following areas (a course may be used in only one category):

• Economics
• Social Sciences
• Humanities
• Communications (e.g. writing or verbal intensive courses)
• Quantitative sciences (e.g. statistics, mathematics)
• Biological science (e.g. biology, botany)
• Physical sciences (e.g. chemistry, geology, physics)
• Professional college courses - architecture, agriculture, business, education, human ecology, engineering.  Acceptable courses will be determined by each department and approved by the dean's office.

Only one agriculture course can be used to meet general education requirements.  The agriculture course must be from outside the student's department major and it may only be used as a free or restricted elective in the students curriculum.

Departments within the college may specify which of the eight areas their students can use to satisfy General Education requirements.  The College of Agriculture General Education Program is designed to take advantage of the strong tradition of excellence in advising to determine the specific general education courses that are best suited to each individual.

Students changing curricula within KSU shall satisfy the University General Education requirements for the program in which they will graduate.  Students with dual majors and/or dual degrees must meet the UGE requirements for their primary major/degree.

NOTES:  Transferable courses taken for dual credit while in high school are considered to be transfer credit.  Advanced Placement credits and credit-by examination completed prior to enrollment at K-State count toward transfer credit policy, but are not eligible to meet specific general education course requirements.
