Helpful Resources
We have several resources available for you to learn more about KPSAHS, our programs, and admissions processes.
Information Sessions
Prospective students are highly encouraged to sign up for a general or program-specific virtual Information Session. These interactive sessions are a great way to learn more about the college and individual programs.
Prerequisites
Courses that have previously been evaluated for transfer credit can be found in the Transfer Credit Database. (Evaluation of transfer credits which may be applied to the degree is completed only after acceptance to KPSAHS.) This is not an exhaustive list and is modified routinely. If a course is not listed on the database it has not yet been evaluated. Please email the Admissions team and we’ll be happy to help.
KPSAHS Catalog
The KPSAHS Catalog is your resource for detailed information about the college. Please check the Catalog regularly for updates.
