University of Nebraska at Kearney

1996-98 UNK Undergraduate Catalog

Offered by Department of Mathematics and Statistics:

Mathematics Major - Bachelor of Science

General Studies = 45

General Studies required by major:

MATH 115*, Calculus I with Analytical Geometry - 5 hours

*Students with insufficient preparation will enter the mathematics program at a lower level increasing total hours need to complete the major.

BS Science-related course requirements = 0

Major = 31

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 = 100

Unrestricted elective in 125 hour program = 25

Minimum total hours required for BS in Mathematics = 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.
