Electives for the B.S.

In addition to the 9 (nine) required courses and their prerequisites, B.S. majors must take four (4) courses from the list of approved electives. One of these courses must be a policy course and one must be from the social sciences.

Because Biology 2227 (227) and Geology 3021 (210) are required for the B.S., they cannot be double-counted as electives.
