Core Course Sequencing

The most efficient and effective way to make it through the core courses is to follow the following sequences.

Environment and Science Area (two courses, 7 credits)

1. Begin with one introductory environmental science course

  • Biology 105: Biological Concepts: Unity (fall, spring), or
  • Chemistry 103: Introduction to Environmental Chemistry (fall), or
  • Geography 121: Physical Geography I: Weather and Climate (fall, spring), or
  • Geology 150: Environmental Geology (fall, spring)


2. Then take the intermediate, interdisciplinary environmental science course:

  • Env Stds 260: Environmental Science (spring)
  • Prerequisite: An introductory environmental science course is a prerequisite for ES 260

Environment and Society Area (two courses, 6 credits)

1. Begin with the introduction to environmental studies course:

  • Env Stds 101: Seminar on Environmental Issues (fall, fall interim, spring)


2. Then take the intermediate, interdisciplinary course on environment and society:

  • Env Stds 261: Environment and Society (fall, spring)
