C. Remaining Degree Requirements
    1. General Education Requirements [Consult the current Catalog]
    2. College Writing Examination
    3. A total of 122 s.h. of which at least 48 s.h., must be upper division. The required courses

in the major, alone, will not fulfill this requirement. See suggestion below.

D. Suggested Upper Division Electives

1 . Any 200 - or 300-level L.A. Biology Course.

2. Any 200 - or 300-level course required in another concentration of the Environmental Sciences Major

[Environmental Earth Sciences, or Environmental Planning].

3. Any 200 - or 300-level L.A. course in Statistics, Math, or Computer Science.

4. Any 200 - or 300-level L.A. course that will enhance your communication skills (written or verbal).

NOTE: Any combination of three grades of D or E in courses required for the major may result in
your disqualification from the major.
