University of Nebraska at Kearney

1996-98 UNK Undergraduate Catalog

Offered by Department of Chemistry:

Chemistry Major - Bachelor of Arts

General Studies = 53

General Studies required by major:

MATH 102*, College Algebra - 3 hours

MATH 103*, Plane Trigonometry - 3 hours

CHEM 160GS, General Chemistry - 3 hours

CHEM 160LGS, General Chemistry Laboratory - 1 hour

CHEM 161GS, General Chemistry - 3 hours

CHEM 161LGS, General Chemistry Laboratory - 1 hour

Take ONE of the following options:

Take 2 courses:

PHYS 205GS, General Physics - 5 hours

PHYS 206GS, General Physics - 5 hours

OR take 2 courses:

PHYS 275GS, General Physics (Calculus) - 5 hours

PHYS 276GS, General Physics (Calculus) - 5 hours

*Students with sufficient mathematics preparation to enter above 102 and 103 would reduce the hours needed for the major and increase the hours of unrestricted Electives.

BA Language requirement = a minimum of 5

The BA requires completion of two intermediate or advanced courses in a single modern language. Students coming to campus having met the 1997- admission requirements will typically have a 5-6 hour requirement. Students without two years of high school language study will typically take 10 hours of first year language before completing this requirement.

Major = 44

Minor or 2nd Major = 24

Minors are 24 hours; 18 must be unduplicated. Electing a second major may add as many as 18 required hours. Should 6 hours of the minor also meet other requirements, the unrestricted electives will be greater.

Minimum total hours required coursework = 126

Unrestricted elective in 125 hour program = 0

Minimum total hours required for BA in Chemistry = 126

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.
