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 have required general studies hours reduced to 48 hours.
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 = 76
Minor or 2nd Major = (Math minor within the major)
A math minor is included within the major. Electing an additional minor will add as many as 24 hours to the major.
Minimum total hours required coursework = 137
Unrestricted electives in 125 hour program = 0
Minimum total hours required for BA in Professional Chemist's Major = 137

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.
