REQUIREMENTS


45 Hours of General Studies Courses

All UNK students must satisfactorily complete the courses listed within the General Studies areas. This can be done through the usual process of course completion or by means of waiver of a specific course requirement. The requirements for waiving a General Studies course are established by the General Studies Council. Each student seeking a bachelor's degree at UNK must complete 45 hours of General Studies courses, distributed into the categories listed below. Up to three hours of the overall credit hour requirements may possibly be waived. It should be noted that certain majors require that specific General Studies courses be taken. Students should make choices with the guidance of the academic advisor, so that their interests and major requirements are met. Colleges and individual programs within a College can, with the approval of the appropriate College committee, require specific General Studies courses which will be listed under the requirements for the degree programs.

To ensure that the General Studies Program provides students with a wide variety of points of view and allows them to concentrate in their junior and senior years on their major subject, students in their freshman and sophomore years are encouraged to complete the General Studies Program. Also, students are urged to complete their Math requirement during their freshman year.
