Get started with college today!

Jayhawk Blueprint is a partnership between the University of Kansas and selected school districts in Kansas. This program allows students to take college courses at a discounted rate within their high schools. Upon successfully completing a Jayhawk Blueprint course, students earn both high school and college credit.

High school students who enroll in the program will:

Take college courses while still in high school

Courses are taught at the high schools by qualified high school teachers, allowing students to earn high school and college credit simultaneously.

Earn transferable college credit

For each course a student successfully completes, they will earn college credit from KU. Most courses are transferable to Kansas public 2-year and 4-year institutions of higher education and may transfer to other colleges, depending on transfer requirements.

Experience college-level coursework and learning

Jayhawk Blueprint courses are taught similarly to how they are taught on campus, giving high school students experience with college-level courses and helping ease the future transition to college.

Access KU courses at a discounted rate

Jayhawk Blueprint students benefit from a reduced tuition rate, set at one-third of KU's current undergraduate tuition. Course textbooks/materials are provided at no charge to students. Additionally, need-based funding is available for students in USD 497 who qualify for free or reduced meals through their high school.
