Total 124* Meets University General Education Requirement.
1 Chemistry 130 is a prerequisite/co requisite to Biology 140, therefore a student selects Chemistry 120-130 and Biology 130-140; otherwise the student must elect Chemistry 100-110 and Biology 101-102.
2 Economics 201(4) satisfies the University General Education-Social Science requirement and the major requirement for economics. If the student transfers ECON LD for 3 credits, it will satisfy the major requirement, but will not satisfy the General Education-Social Science requirement. In these cases, the student should take two courses from the approved General Education-Social Sciences list.
3 One of the University General Education Electives, Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources Electives, Free Electives or a course taken as part of one of the minors must be a Communicating through Writing (WC) course.
4 Choose from the University General Education lists.
5 Students should select one of the minors offered by the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources: animal science, biosystems engineering technology, entomology and plant pathology, environmental and soil sciences, food and agricultural business, food science and technology, forestry, international agriculture and natural resources, plant sciences, wildlife and fisheries science, or one of the minors in the College of Communication and Information (see listing in this catalog), or submit an individualized plan of study before the third year, for approval by the advisor, department head, and the Dean’s Office. If the minor is less than 23 hours, the excess hours will become free electives.
