#NOTE: Students who do not already take one of these courses as part of another Major or Minor programme must select at least one of these courses, or another approved quantitative course. Students cannot select both AGBU 2003 and ARGI 2003 as electives.
NOTE 1: where a course is core in another Major programme, students doing that Major cannot count that course as an elective for the ENRM programme.
NOTE 2: where a course is an elective in another Major programme and is also an elective for the ENRM Major, it may be counted under either programme, but not both.
NOTE 3: students may be permitted to complete an alternative course as an elective, with the approval of the Head, Department of Geography
