NSS BS 5306

Minimum General Studies = 45
+ General Studies coursework required by major = 47
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
*Students with sufficient preparation may enter the mathematics program at a higher level, reducing total of General Studies hours to 45.
Natural Sciences minimum = 7
Social and Behavioral Sciences minimum = 9
Personal Development minimum = 2
BS Science-related course requirements = 0
Major Option = 36
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 = 107
Unrestricted electives in 125 hour program = 18
