Environmental Sciences

17 courses (BPhil or BSGS)

Effective June 1, 2007, the Environmental Sciences major at the School of Continuing Studies has changed. The changes give students more course options, adjust core requirements to take advantage of readily available course offerings, and eliminate one math course (MATH 230). Returning SCS students have the option of completing the previous version of the major or switching to the new version.
