Major in Environmental Science
(Major Code: 105)
A student must complete a minimum of 120 semester credit hours to include at least 39 advanced hours.
University Core Curriculum Requirements
Refer to the “University Core Curriculum ” section of this catalog. Students must take the following courses.
From Mathematics - Code 20 (3 hours)
Fourth hour from MATH 2412 (if taken) will count toward Component Area Option (Code 90).
From Life and Physical Sciences - Code 30 (6 hours)
Lab hours will count toward Component Area Option (Code 90).
From Component Area Option - Code 90 (6 hours)
Environmental Science Core Requirements
Additional electives to total 120 hours
MATH 2413 is strongly recommended.
Note:
To make the degree in environmental science more specialized, it is recommended that elective and additional courses be taken for a second major in either biology or chemistry. A second major gives the student an area of specialization within the area of environmental science. To get a second major in biology, a student needs to take (in addition to the courses listed in the suggested curriculum) three of the following courses: BIOL 3099 , BIOL 3312 , BIOL 3418 , BIOL 3420 , BIOL 3510 , BIOL 3522 or BIOL 4425 and accompanying labs.
For information about a second major in chemistry, refer to the “Department of Chemistry and Physics ” section of this catalog. For information about the master of science (M.S.) degree in environmental science, refer to the “Graduate Catalog.” Environmental Science/Geology Emphasis, Option II
