Kansas Regents Shared Number (KRSN)

Courses that currently have a Kansas Regents Shared Number (Common Course Numbers designated by the Kansas System Wide Transfer Course Matrix) are indicated by their associated KRSN number. The learning outcomes and competencies in these courses meet or exceed the learning outcomes and competencies specified by the Kansas Core Outcomes Groups project for these courses as approved by the Kansas Board of Regents. 

The Kansas Board of Regents has approved and faculty representatives from Kansas public postsecondary institutions have agreed upon the learning outcomes for the systemwide transfer of specified courses.  A student who completes any of these courses at a Kansas public university, community college, or technical college will be able to transfer the course to any Kansas public institution offering an equivalent course.

For a full listing of approved courses and their corresponding transfer course visit the Kansas Regents website that links to the Transfer Equivalency Gateway.


Special Funding Identifier(s)

  • KS Excel in CTE Initiative - Identifies a course that qualifies for the State of Kansas Excel in CTE Initiative that provides free tuition to qualifying High School students in qualifying technical programs and courses.

    NOTE: Courses not listed as KS Excel in CTE Initiative allow High School students in Kansas and Oklahoma to qualify for the AcceleRATE which is a discounted flat-rate tuition amount for dual enrolled high school students. Some of the courses in technical programs fall under the AcceleRATE pricing and do not qualify for the Excel in CTE. 

 
 

Music

Proficiency Examinations

Those students interested in pursuing a degree in music from a four-year institution must declare a chief performing medium and demonstrate their performance ability with that instrument or voice.

After their initial registration, students have their proficiency judged by their major instructor.

Thereafter, they may perform for a faculty jury each semester to determine their proficiency level and progress

Applied Music

Instruction is given in applied media to develop musicianship, performance skills, and reading knowledge of music literature. The individual applied areas set specific requirements for each level.

For one semester of credit music majors studying applied instrument or voice must enroll in Applied Music Seminar, which will meet for one hour once a week. This will allow the student to perform and demonstrate the skills and techniques that they are working on in their individual lessons.

Applied lessons are available for all instrumental and voice classifications.
