Kansas Scholars Curriculum

State universities in Kansas follow Qualified Admissions (QA) criteria when admitting undergraduate students. These criteria are set by the Kansas Board of Regents, the governing body for the six state universities. The purpose of QA is to enhance success at the university level by ensuring students are prepared for the rigors of a university education. The institutions that use QA for admission are: Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, University of Kansas, and Wichita State University.

Criteria per institution:

• Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Pittsburg State University, and Wichita State University will require an ACT score of 21+ OR a cumulative 2.25+ GPA.

• Kansas State University will require an ACT score of 21+ OR a cumulative 3.25+ GPA.

• The University of Kansas will require an ACT score of 21+ AND a cumulative 3.25+ GPA or an ACT score of 24+ AND a cumulative 3.0+ GPA.

***For all institutions except KU, a cumulative 2.0+ GPA is required for any college courses taken while in high school. KU requires a 2.5 GPA.
