Enhanced Learning Experiences (ELEs)
Students must complete four distinct experiences from the list below. Each ELE may have course-based and/or experience-based paths for completion. No one activity can fulfill two separate experiences (though a course taken toward the 18 hours of Honors credit can also count toward an ELE). Upon completion of each ELE, students will post a reflection question in their KU Portal.
1. Public Service
2. Cultural Literacy & Social Justice
3. Global Citizenship
4. Aesthetic Engagement
5. Professional Development & Social Entrepreneurship
6. Leadership
7. Research Skills & In-Depth Learning
8. Interdisciplinarity & Breadth of Learning
Student-initiated Experience: Some valuable learning experiences may not fit neatly into the categories listed above. Students are welcome to propose alternative experiences for review/approval by University Honors Program staff.
Submitting your Enhanced Learning Experiences
Log into your KU portal. On the front page, locate and click the “Customize” button in the upper left portion. You will then have the option to search for additional panes to add to your KU portal.
