Continuing UMKC Students
Students currently enrolled at UMKC must have a UMKC cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above.
Students who do not meet the above criteria may apply for admission to the Honors Program and their applications will be considered on an individual basis.
The above-mentioned admission requirements are “target criteria.” While priority consideration will be given students who meet or exceed the requirements, the Honors Program Admissions Committee takes into consideration the totality of each student’s application, with an emphasis on academics and civic engagement. UMKC wants Honors Program students who will be leaders in the classroom and in all aspects of campus and community life. Applications are especially encouraged from students who have a strong record of community engagement and are highly motivated to succeed academically.
Applications for admission to the Honors Program are considered on a rolling basis, and students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. The final application deadline is August 1 for fall semester and January 7 for spring semester.
