Offered by Department of Mathematics and Statistics:

Statistics Major

Statistics Option
Bachelor of Arts

NSS BA 5904

Minimum General Studies = 47

including General Studies coursework required by major

English Language minimum = 9

Humanities minimum = 9

Mathematics, Statistics & Computer Science minimum = 8 (Maximum of 6 hours in this section will count toward the 45 hours General Studies requirement.)

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

Take 1 course from:

CSIS 109GS, FORTRAN Programming - 3 hours

CSIS 111GS, Applied BASIC Programming - 3 hours

CSIS 130GS, Introduction to Computer Science - 3 hours

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

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

Natural Sciences minimum = 7

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 = 38

Minor or 2nd Major, minimum = 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 = 117

Unrestricted electives in 125 hour program = 8

Minimum total hours required for BA 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.

Must be completed with no grade below a "C".
