* Meets University General Education Requirement .
1 AREC 201 * (4) or ECON 201 * (4) satisfies the University General Education–Social Science requirement and the major requirement for economics. If the student transfers ECON LD for 3 credits, it will satisfy the major requirement but will not satisfy the General Education–Social Sciences requirement. In these cases, the student should take two courses from the Social Sciences list.
2 Select sequence (8 hours) from BIOL 101 *-BIOL 102 *, BIOL 111 *-BIOL 112 *, BIOL 130 *-BIOL 140 *, or BIOL 138 *-BIOL 148 *.
3Select one course (4 hours) from chemistry, physics, geology, ESS 210 ; GEOG 131 *, GEOG 132 * GEOG 137 *. CHEM 130 * is a corequisite to BIOL 140 *. Therefore, students who choose BIOL 130 *-BIOL 140 * should take CHEM 120 *-CHEM 130 * for their physical science electives. BIOL 111 *-BIOL 112 * has no chemistry requirement.
4 Chosen from the University General Education list .
