All UNK students must satisfactorily complete the courses listed within the General
Studies areas. Each student seeking a bachelor's degree at UNK must complete 45 hours of
General Studies courses, distributed into the categories listed below. It should be noted
that certain majors require that specific General Studies courses be taken. Students
should make choices with the guidance of the academic advisor, so that their interests and
major requirements are met. Colleges and individual programs within a College can, with
the approval of the appropriate College committee, require specific General Studies
courses which will be listed under the requirements for the degree programs. To ensure
that the General Studies Program provides students with a wide variety of points of view
and allows them to concentrate in their junior and senior years on their major subject,
students in their freshman and sophomore years are encouraged to complete the General
Studies Program.
Students are urged to complete their Math requirement during their freshman year.
