Introduction
The Global Awareness Program (GAP) is a KU initiative that recognizes undergraduates' international experiences. Students can have an international experience through study abroad, taking classes with an international focus, foreign language study or participating in international co-curricular activities. GAP is a result of recommendations made by a university-wide task force on internationalization of the University.

Undergraduates in any major can earn global awareness certification. Students completing this program will have their international experience noted on their official KU academic transcript. They will also receive a certificate from the Office of International Programs. In an increasingly competive global economy, students need evidence that they are prepared to LIVE, LEAD and WORK in a global society. GAP is offering students that advantage. Our students are being encouraged to broaden their perspectives and acquire the necessary skills that are vital for a diverse society and workforce.
