You must finish 8 honors units, a tutorial and have a minimum 3.25 GPA in courses at KU to complete the Honors Program (your KU GPA rather than the KU+Transfer GPA).

Breakdown of the 8 Honors units:

1. 6 units must be fulfilled as Honors or graduate level (700+) courses. The tutorial is a separate requirement and does not count towards this requirement.
2. 1 unit must consist of one the following experiences: study abroad, departmental honors, documented research experience, approved and documented internship experience or approved and documented community service. Students interested in using an out-of-classroom experience which will not appear on their transcript for one of their honors units are required to fill out a pre-approval form.
