What are the requirements to transfer from community college to K-State?

I'm currently at a community college and considering transferring to Kansas State University. Does anyone know what the transfer requirements are? I'm especially curious about GPA and any specific course requirements.

Kansas State University, also known as K-State, has a fairly straightforward transfer process. The general requirement is that you should have at least a 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale for all college coursework.

However, this GPA requirement can vary depending on what your intended major at K-State is, or there could be additional policies regarding your grades in particular courses. Some majors require higher GPAs for transfer applicants, especially if the program is competitive, or require you to have earned a certain grade (say, a C or better) in courses relevant to the major.

I'd recommend checking the specific requirements of the major you're interested in, to make sure you're not missing anything. This information should be available on the K-State department website or you could contact the department directly with your inquiry. You can get an initial sense of some of the details here: https://www.k-state.edu/admissions/undergrad/manhattan/apply/transfer/requirements.html

In terms of specific course requirements, it also largely depends on the program you're interested in. Certain majors will have specific course prerequisites that you'd need to fulfill before transferring. However, K-State does provide transfer guides, through platforms like Transferology, for each Kansas community college that lays out suggested courses to take before transferring. I would recommend you follow these guides if you're looking at a specific program or major.

In general, though, if your aim is to transfer after two years of community college, completing an Associate's degree can be a good guideline, as it often aligns well with the requirements of what you'd do during your first two years at a 4-year university.

You should also be aware that K-State requires official transcripts from all colleges or universities you've attended. Remember that admission is not guaranteed and is contingent on the successful completion of all in-progress coursework.

Lastly, I suggest meeting with an advisor at your current community college, as well as a transfer admissions officer at K-State, to ensure you're on the right track with your courses and to discuss any specific requirements for your intended major. Good luck!
