You must complete a minimum of 6 credit hours of K-State upper-division UGE courses (300 and above) as specified in the program in which you will graduate.

The university general education program helps you widen your perspectives, explore the relationships between subjects, and build critical and analytical thinking skills. These general education courses should be continuous and spread across your entire college career, not taken all at once.
