Note for students who double major or minor in Biology

• Students who double major in Environmental Science and Biology can double count a maximum of 4 courses (3 Required Courses: BIO 111, 112, BIO 206 or ENV 242 and 1 upper-level elective) towards their double major. Students majoring in Environmental Science and minoring in Biology can double count a maximum of 3 courses (BIO 111, 112 and 1 approved upper-level BIO or ENV elective) towards their Environmental Science major. To complete the Biology minor, an additional 4 upper-level BIO courses are required.

Note for students who minor in Chesapeake Regional Studies (5 courses total):

• Students who minor in Chesapeake Regional Studies can double count one course for this minor and the Environmental Science or Studies major.

Note for students who minor in Earth and Planetary Systems (6 courses total):

• Students who minor in Earth and Planetary Systems can double count two courses from the core for this minor and the Environmental Science or Studies major.

Note for students who are interested in pursuing a Physics track within the Environmental Science degree program:

• Students can substitute PHY 111 and/or PHY 112 for one or two courses in the major after consultation with and written approval from an ENV Department Chair.

Note for students who are interested in majoring in Environmental Science and minoring in any discipline:

• Students can double count a maximum number of courses, based on the total number of courses required for the minor, as detailed below:
  • 5 course minor = 1 course overlap with ENV science major
  • 6 course minor = 2 course overlap with ENV science major
  • 7 course minor = 3 course overlap with ENV science major
