SUGGESTED FOUR-YEAR ES PROGRAM
The Environmental Science major is designed to be completed in four academic years (eight semesters). To do so requires careful planning based on knowledge of course prerequisites, degree requirements and semester of offering of courses. The suggested four-year program shown below provides a model for the construction of such a program. Although adherence to this model is not required, doing so is the easiest way to assure efficient progress toward graduation. Students may elect to reduce the academic demand during the regular semester by taking courses in summer school.
The major requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Science are BIOL 111, BIOL 306, CHEM 111, CHEM 112, CHEM 221, CHEM 330, CIS 101 or higher, ES 301, ES 302, ES 310, ES 407 or 490, ES 415, ES 499, GEOL 111, GEOL 405 and PHYS 201 or 211. Also, two major electives from the following courses: BIOL 213, BIOL 310, BIOL 421, CHEM 222, CHEM 301, CHEM 331, ES 390, or ES 420.
The following sample program shows one way courses could be put together to build a four-year curriculum culminating in a degree in Environmental Science. Whereas there is some flexibility in the sequence in which general education courses may be taken, the major requirements should be taken at the times specified below to facilitate graduation in four years.
