Additional Information About this Plan:
University Degree Requirements: The minimum number of hours for a UNO undergraduate degree is 120 credit hours. Please review the requirements for your specific program to determine all requirements for the program. In order to graduate on-time (four years for an undergraduate degree), you need to take 30 hours each year.
Placement Exams: For Math, English, Foreign Language, a placement exam may be required. More information on these exams can be found at https://www.unomaha.edu/enrollment-management/testing-center/placement-exams/information.php
**Transfer credit or placement exam scores may change suggested plan of study
Students in the BASA w/ PK-12 Certification program must complete the Praxis Core Academic Skills test by the completion of TED 2400. Prior to the completion of Clinical Practice students must successfully complete the Praxis II Art Content Knowledge exam. More information on both exams can be found at https://www.unomaha.edu/college-of-education/student-services/academics/required-exams.php
GPA Requirements: BASA w/ PK-12 students must have at least a 2.5 GPA at the time of applying for the Pre-Professional Education Core classes (TED 2100 and TED 2200). By the time students formally apply to the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences (TED 2300 and TED 2400) student GPA must be 2.75.
Graduation Requirements: Should students unsuccessfully complete their Clinical Practice or choose to not move forward with the PK-12 Art Certification, students may still graduate with a BASA degree.
