Environmental Sciences, option in Recreation and Science BS


Degree Requirements

Students must meet the general education requirements, as stated elsewhere in this catalog, and complete the courses listed in the curriculum to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sciences. Students are encouraged to develop a track emphasis area based on their own interests.

Students are required to pass each science course with a grade of “C” or better. This requirement is based on the quantitative skills needed in later courses as well as the degree of integration in subject material that is present throughout the program.

Students within the Environmental Sciences program put their knowledge into practice in the best place possible—the great outdoors.  This map shows required courses for the degree and recommended terms to take each course (the term sequence is subject to change depending on transfer courses, AP/IB/CLEP credit, and course availability).
