GEOL 105 Geology or GEOL 107 Environmental Geology
MATH 124 Survey of Calculus or MATH 131 Calculus and Analytical Geometry
SSCI 224 Basic Statistics or BUAD 284 Statistics for Business and Economics

Electives (minimum of one of the following):
BIOL 350 Microbiology
BIOL 355 Invertebrate Biology

It is recommended that the student select courses in the physical and earth sciences as electives, such as PHYS 121, PHYS 122, and GEOL 307. For students interested in graduate study, we also recommend course work in biology at the suborganismal level (e.g., BIOL 244).

Environmental Science Minor (6 courses):
BIOL 120 or 180, BIOL 228, ENVS 300, and three electives above the BIOL 200 level chosen from the core or elective listing of the environmental science major program.
