*Students with sufficient preparation may enter the mathematics program at a higher level, reducing the hours needed for General Studies, and increasing 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 = 28
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 = 120
Unrestricted elective in 125 hour program = 5
Minimum total hours required for BA in Physics = 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.
