Advising Course Plan - Environmental Studies Major 3-Year Plan
This advising plan shows an example of working through the requirements for the major in three years. It is appropriate for students who have already completed eight units of coursework. The student’s individual academic plan will be developed in consultation with an adviser and reviewed each semester prior to registering for the next semester. This plan assumes that the student has not taken any courses for the major prior to the first semester shown in the plan.
