Here are K-State’s admissions requirements, established by the Kansas Board of Regents, the governing body for all state universities in Kansas.

If you graduated from an accredited high school and meet any one of these three criteria, you will be eligible for admission to K-State:
Score a 21 or higher composite score on the ACT or a 980 or higher on the SAT I, CR + M. Most students take the test in their junior or senior year of high school. Ask your high school counselor for a schedule of test dates.
Or rank in the top third of your graduating class.
Or complete the Kansas precollege curriculum with a 2.0 GPA.
Out-of-state residents must earn a 2.5 or higher GPA.

GED students

A score of 510 or higher on each subtest is required if you took the GED after January 1, 2002. If you took the GED before 2002, an average score of 50 or higher is required.

Students with 24 or more completed transfer hours must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 on all transfer course work.

Transfer students with fewer than 24 completed transfer hours must meet one of the three high school criteria listed above. In addition, a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA on all transfer work is required.
High school graduates 21 or older

Students who graduated from an accredited high school who are 21 or older must submit a final high school transcript or GED scores. If you have attempted any college or university course work, you must request that official transcripts be mailed or faxed to the K-State Office of Admissions. ACT or SAT scores may be required for the admissions decision.
Majors that require a higher GPA for admission

Some K-State programs require a higher GPA to be admitted into a major.
