Computer Information Systems Option
Bachelor of Science
NSS BS 5307
- Minimum General Studies = 45
- + General Studies coursework required by major = 48
- English Language minimum = 9
- Humanities minimum = 9
- Mathematics, Statistics & Computer Science minimum = 9
- MATH 102*, College Algebra - 3 hours
- MATH 103*, Plane Trigonometry - 3 hours
- Take 1 course from:
- MATH 115, Calculus I with Analytical Geometry - 5
hours
- MATH 123, Applied Calculus I - 3 hours
- *Students with sufficient preparation may enter the mathematics program at a higher
level, reducing total of General Studies hours to 45. (Maximum of 6 hours in this section
will count toward the 45 hours General Studies requirement.)
- Natural Sciences minimum = 7
- Social and Behavioral Sciences minimum = 9
- Personal Development minimum = 2
- BS Science-related course requirements = 3
- Take 1 course from:
- STAT 345, Applied Statistics I - 3 hours
- STAT 241, Elementary Statistics - 3 hours
- BMGT 233, Business Statistics - 3 hours (Prereq: MATH 102 (if necessary) or MATH
120 or MATH 123)
- Major Option = 36
- Minor or 2nd Major, minimum = 24
- Minors are 24 hours, 18 must be unduplicated. Electing a second major may add as many as
18 required hours to the program. Should 6 hours of the minor also meet other
requirements, the unrestricted electives will be greater.
- Minimum total hours required coursework = 111
- Unrestricted electives in 125 hour program = 14
- Minimum total hours required for BS in Computer Information Systems = 125
- All UNK degrees require a minimum of 125 hours. Forty (40) of the hours required for
all UNK degrees must be upper division hours, which are courses numbered 300 or above
taken at a 4-year college or university.
- A grade of "C" or above is required for all courses in this Option.
