Undergraduate Education
Learning to learn is a large part of the undergraduate experience. Critical thinking, information gathering and analysis and effective communication are key skills that transcend the undergraduate education experience at KU no matter what the field of study. KU also strives to offer undergraduates an international experience and an opportunity to participate in the discovery of new knowledge through research. The KU undergraduate experience is truly transforming.
The University of Kansas is a comprehensive research
and teaching university that serves as a center for learning, scholarship,
and creative endeavor. The university's commitment to undergraduate teaching
has remained strong even as it has increased in number of disciplines
and expanded in degree programs to levels never imagined at the
time of its inception.
This program permits first-time freshmen who share
academic interests to work with professors and peer educators in
interdisciplinary studies and activities that fulfill curricular
requirements. Residential and non-residential options are available.
The Academic Achievement and Access Center (AAAC) offers many services and programs to assist students in their academic success and to enhance their collegiate experience at KU. Choose from individual consultations, group workshops, general or course-specific academic assistance, by appointment or on a walk-in basis
Academic advising is important to academic success. KU schools have advisors to assist students. If you are new to KU, a good place to start is the Freshman -Sophomore Advising Center which guides students toward the resources that will assist them as they begin their college careers.
Writers need feedback, sounding boards, and other people to coach and guide them while they compose. That's where the KU Writing Center comes in. It's a place for productive talk about writing, with trained peer consultants to help you brainstorm, draft or edit your writing.
The Honors Program provides enriched educational opportunities for the most academically talented, promising, and motivated undergraduates at the University of Kansas. Through honors courses, tutorials, individualized advising, national scholarship support, and co-curricular activities, students are introduced to, and become a part of, an energetic scholarly community composed of students, faculty, and alumni. Students must complete a separate application to be considered for admission to the Honors Program.
