OR take 2 courses:
PHYS 275GS, General Physics (Calculus) - 5 hours
PHYS 276GS, General Physics (Calculus) - 5 hours
Social and Behavioral Sciences minimum = 9
Personal Development minimum = 2

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 admission requirements taking effect in 1997 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 for intermediate or advanced courses.
Major Option = 65
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 = 126
Unrestricted electives in 125 hour program = 0

Minimum total hours required for BA in Professional Chemist's Option = 126
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.
