University of Nebraska at Kearney

1996-98 UNK Undergraduate Catalog

Offered by Department of Physics and Physical Science:

Physical Science Major - Bachelor of Arts

NSS BA 6204
General Studies = 56
General Studies required by major:
MATH 102*, College Algebra - 3 hours
MATH 103*, Plane Trigonometry - 3 hours
MATH 115*, Calculus I with Analytical Geometry - 5 hours
MATH 202, Calculus II with Analytic Geometry - 5 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
*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 = 24
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 = 109
Unrestricted elective in 125 hour program = 16

Minimum total hours required for BA in Physical Science = 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. Physical Science Core Requirements
Take all of the following:
PHYS 275GS, General Physics (Calculus) - 5 hours
PHYS 276GS, General Physics (Calculus) - 5 hours

B. Physical Science Electives
Take 14 to 16 hours from:
CHEM 200-499
PHYS 200-499
Electives must include one advanced course (300-400 level) in BOTH Chemistry AND Physics.
