University of Nebraska at Kearney

1996-98 UNK Undergraduate Catalog

Offered by Department of Mathematics and Statistics:

Statistics 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 = 3

Take 1 course from:

CSIS 109GS, FORTRAN Programming - 3 hours (Recommended co-requisite: CSIS 100.B VM/CMS)

CSIS 111GS, Applied BASIC Programming - 3 hours

CSIS 130GS, Introduction to Computer Science - 3 hours

CSIS 150, Structured Programming - 3 hours (Prereq: CSIS 130GS)

Major = 38

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 = 110

Unrestricted elective in 125 hour program = 15

>Minimum total hours required for BS in Statistics = 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.
