Friends University adopted a new policy, which will make transferring from any Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR) community college easier for students. Individuals with associate’s degrees from KBOR community colleges will automatically satisfy all of Friends University’s general education requirements, except for the religion requirements. Traditional undergraduate students must complete an additional nine hours of religion courses while adult undergraduate students must complete an additional three hours of religion and a three-hour capstone course. “We are excited to announce this new policy,” said Dr. Ken Stoltzfus, academic dean. “According to the National Student Clearinghouse, Kansas has one of the highest percentages of students completing four-year degrees after beginning at two-year public institutions (20.24 percent). Our new policy will make it easier for prospective students to transfer to Friends University.” The policy begins in the fall and is meant to streamline the transfer process for students who have a desire to continue their education.
