2009-10 Undergraduate Catalog
Majors
Environmental science is the science of people's role in natural systems, the basis of our economy. This program accesses courses universitywide and provides numerous opportunities for international study. The environmental science degree approaches complex environmental issues with reliable knowledge and interdisciplinary perspectives, and provides the full range of knowledge relevant to complex environmental problems. This includes biological and physical sciences, ethics, economics, policy, and law.
The degree prepares graduates for jobs in environmental consulting companies, government environmental offices or land and water management agencies, or non-government organizations. About one-third of environmental science students advance to graduate or professional degree programs. The combination of the school's broad undergraduate degree with a subsequent degree is highly marketable.
Students take a core of courses, including a general course in environmental science and courses in ethics, ecology, organic chemistry, earth science, global science, hydrologic systems, and policy and natural resource management.
The core provides 31-32 hours of coursework in physical, biological and social sciences. The B.S. and B.A. tracks are similar. The B.S. includes one course in policy and one in organic chemistry; the B.A. includes two policy courses and no organic chemistry.
Beyond the core requirement, each student selects 21-27 additional credits from electives for the major. During the fourth year, all students take a capstone course where critical thinking skills are developed.
* If taken from one group, this course does not satisfy the requirement for a course from the other group.
The freshmen and sophomore years lay a foundation of coursework for building later expertise. Students need to know the natural sciences of physics, chemistry and biology, with laboratory experience in each area. Study of microeconomics and macroeconomics are required to understand the human economy. Introductory statistics empowers students to independently evaluate sets of numbers. College algebra and an introduction to calculus enable students to work with rates of change, the heart of ecological science.
The preprofessional courses for the B.S. tracks in environmental science and natural resource management prepare students for the science-oriented versions of the major. The requirements for the B.A. track in environmental policy include less physics and mathematics, in preparation for the major that combines science and policy.
Coursework in the core of the major provides a base of common knowledge and experience in subjects essential to environmental science. Then students diverge into electives chosen according to individual interest. Senior-year students return to a common course that develops critical-thinking skills by confronting conflicts of ecological and economic paradigms, synthesizing across physical, biological and social systems, and engaging diverse knowledge and views to resolve key environmental problems.
Each student must fulfill preprofessional requirements that differ slightly for the B.S. and B.A. degrees. These consist of courses in chemistry, physics, biology, calculus, statistics and economics, totaling 39-46 (typically 43) hours for the B.S. and 31-39 (typically 34) hours for the B.A.
In addition to the preprofessional requirements, all students are responsible for completing the university's general education and the writing and math requirements.
Certain preprofessional requirements simultaneously satisfy 18-21 credit hours (depending on courses selected) of the general education mathematics, physics, biology, and social and behavioral science. Remaining general education requirements include 15-18 credit hours (depending on preprofessional courses taken) in composition, humanities and social and behavioral sciences.
The 12 credit hours of writing requirements include 3-12 hours taken for general education and preprofessional requirements, depending on selections. The six hours of math requirements are satisfied by preprofessional requirements.
For efficiency, freshmen should seek to maximize overlap of preprofessional requirements with general education and the writing and math requirements, as outlined below:
Bachelor of Science
Bachelor of Arts
The Bachelor of Science degree in environmental science emphasizes the applied sciences and the basic sciences from which they derive. The track is designed to prepare for a particular employment goal or for graduate or professional school.
Elective courses required beyond the core requirements are distributed among four categories: physical sciences, biological sciences, human dimensions and additional skills and concepts. For advice on choice of electives, consult with the adviser in 102 Black Hall. Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science degree who want more environmental policy electives can substitute them for the courses in human dimensions in the environmental science track.
Courses taken to fulfill the core requirements cannot fulfill elective requirements. Students can substitute graduate courses for electives, with approval of the school and permission of the instructor. To substitute a 6000-level course, the student must have senior standing and a junior-/senior-level GPA of at least 3.0.
To graduate with this major, students must complete the general education and major requirements, as well as all college requirements.
* Select courses that carry humanities (H), composition (C) and international (N) and diversity (D) credit.
1 If students take CHM 1025 in preparation for CHM 2045, the extra credits count as electives.
2 If students precede this sequence with MAC 1114, 1140 or 1147, the extra credits count as electives. Students can substitute MAC 2233 and 2234 for MAC 2311 and 2312, but this may preclude access to certain courses.
3 The following courses may be used as substitutes:
PHY 2053 and 2053L for PHY 2004 and 2004L
PHY 2054 and 2054L for PHY 2005 and 2005L
Students preparing for science modeling in graduate school should take MAP 2302 as an elective.
* If this course was taken to fulfill the core requirement, it cannot fulfill the elective requirement.
This track focuses on the applied sciences that enable sustainable use of natural resources. Students can substitute appropriate graduate courses for electives, with approval of the school and permission of the instructor. To substitute a 6000-level course, the student must have senior standing and a minimum junior-/senior-level GPA of 3.0.
* POS 2041 is a prerequisite for all courses in the environmental policy category.
** If this course was taken to fulfill the core requirement, it cannot fulfill this elective requirement. The student must select a substitution from the human effects, resource management or quantitative methods category.
The Bachelor of Arts degree in environmental science focuses on the social sciences that connect the natural sciences and engineering to society.
Electives in the areas of policy, law, public administration and resource economics make this the preferred track for students interested in advancing to law school or to the policy aspects of environmental consulting and public agency work.
To graduate with this major, students must complete the general education and major requirements, as well as all college requirements.
* Select courses that carry humanities (H), composition (C), international (N) and diversity (D) credit.
1 If students take CHM 1025 in preparation for CHM 2045, the extra credits count as free electives.
2 If students precede this sequence with MAC 1114, 1140 or 1147, the extra credits count as electives.
3 The following courses may be used as substitutes:
BSC 2010 and 2010L for BSC 2007 and 2009L
BSC 2010 and 2010L for BSC 2008
PHY 2053 for PHY 2020 or PHY 2004
Students can substitute appropriate graduate courses for electives, with approval of the school and permission of the instructor. To substitute a 6000-level course, the student must have senior standing and a minimum junior-/senior-level GPA of 3.0.
* If this course was taken to fulfill the core requirement, it cannot fulfill the elective requirement. Students must select a substitution from the major electives category.
The environmental policy and business track combines a general overview of business (courses in the major functional areas of business administration) with courses in environmental policy.
Along with the prerequisite ECO 2013 Microeconomics, the courses listed from the Warrington College of Business Administration would make students eligible for a minor in business administration.
Similarly, combining the prerequisite AEB 3103, ACG 2021C and three of the listed AEB courses would make students eligible for a minor in food and resource economics. This track benefits employment in environmental consulting, corporate/agency environmental management and environmental law.
Students may substitute appropriate graduate courses for electives, with approval of the school and permission of the instructor. To substitute a 6000-level course, the student must have senior standing and a junior-/senior-level GPA of at least 3.0.
The environmental education track prepares students for work in nature education centers, environmental organizations, public agency environmental interpretation programs and as nature tour guides in the private sector.
While this is a suitable degree for graduate school in education, it does not lead to teacher certification or sufficient completion of the five-year teacher program in the College of Education.
Students can substitute appropriate graduate courses for listed electives, with approval of the school and permission of the instructor. To substitute a 6000-level course, the student must have senior standing and a junior-/senior-level GPA of at least 3.0.

- Science preprofessional requirements satisfy up to 12 hours of the Gen Ed physical and biological sciences requirement (the basic 9-hour requirement plus the variable three hours from a category). Students should allocate the variable 3 hours to physical and biological sciences to reduce the humanities requirement from 9 to 6 hours.
- Economics preprofessional requirements satisfy up to 6 of the 9-hour Gen Ed social and behavioral sciences requirement (six if satisfied with ECO 2013 and 2023; 4 if satisfied with AEB 3103).
- Policy preprofessional requirement (POS 2041) for B.A. students satisfies the remaining 3 hours of the 9-hour Gen Ed social and behavioral sciences requirement. B.S. students can satisfy the remaining 3 hours of the 9-hour Gen Ed social and behavioral sciences requirement with certain core courses, under ethics (AEB 4126) and policy (PUP 3204, PUP 4021).
- Mathematics and statistics preprofessional requirements satisfy the 6-hour Gen Ed mathematics requirement and the 6-hour computation requirement.
- Satisfying the preceding requirements leaves 18 hours: 6 hours of humanities, 3 hours of composition and 9 hours of writing.
- Students should take humanities, composition and writing courses that also satisfy the six-hour international studies and diversity overlap, such as LIT 2110 and 2120 or 2000-level foreign language humanities courses.
