Note(s):

This program illustrates a possible 3-year completion of the Environmental Sciences BS degree program and assumes students matriculate with 8 credits (substituting for CHM 1210 /CHM 1210L  and ENG 1100 ) and readiness for MTH 2240 . Additional credits will be required if MTH 2240  prerequisites are necessary.
