1 Math 107 or concurrent enrollment c// is the prerequisite for Chem 105. Math 107 is also the prerequisite for Math 140.
2 Recommend combining [D] with Humanities, Social Science or Tier III; choose one of those courses that is also designated as a [D]
3 ES/RP 404: check substitutions provided by WSU Vancouver Science Programs
4 The BS in Environmental Science requires the completion of 18 credits of electives (“option courses”). Courses that fulfill this requirement include any 300 or 400 level course with the prefix ES/RP. Courses with certain other prefixes may also count in this category; see your advisor for details.
5 Note: If Pol S 430 [T] The Politics of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy is used for Tier III, it will double count as a policy course
Foreign Language: Each major must complete 8 hours in a modern foreign language unless he/she has completed two years in high school (or one year in high school and 4 hours of the same language at WSU Vancouver).
The university reserves the right to correct any errors on this degree plan. Consult with an advisor in your planning.
