1996-98 UNK Undergraduate Catalog

Offered by Department of Computer Science and Information Systems:

Computer Information Systems - Bachelor of Science

General Studies = 48

General Studies required by major:

MATH 102*, College Algebra - 3 hours

MATH 103*, Plane Trigonometry - 3 hours

Take 1 course from:

MATH 115, Calculus I with Analytical Geometry - 5 hours

MATH 123, Applied Calculus I - 3 hours

*Students with sufficient preparation may enter the mathematics program at a higher level, reducing total of General Studies hours to 45.

BS Science-related course requirements = 3

Take 1 course from:

STAT 345, Applied Statistics I - 3 hours

Major = 36

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 to the program. Should 6 hours of the minor also meet other requirements, the unrestricted electives will be greater.

Minimum total hours required coursework = 111

Unrestricted elective in 125 hour program = 14

Minimum total hours required for BS in Computer Information Systems = 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 grade of 'C' or above is required for all courses in this Major.
