*Students pursuing joint Majors in Biology and Environmental Science should choose a course from the Biology electives to replace BIOL 2163 since BIOL 2163 will be credited towards the Major in Environmental Science.

  • **Students pursuing joint Majors in Biology and Environmental Science should read BIOL 2464 and ESST 3000 since BIOL 2464 is common to both majors.
  • Students who are NOT reading the joint Majors in Biology and Environmental Science should read BIOL 2464 instead of ESST 3000.
  • However, if you are reading the major in Environmental Science alone ESST 3000 could be used to make up the additional 30 advanced credits.
