Recommended high school courses are: one year of biology, one year of chemistry, three years of mathematics, and two years of foreign language. One year of physics is desirable. The student should be aware that Advanced Placement (AP) science courses may not be used to fulfill science requirements for this degree. Graduate/Professional School Requirements The student should be aware that most graduate programs and many professional schools require an overall minimum GPA of 3.0 and that a grade of ’C’ or better was earned for all science courses and they will not accept Advanced Placement science credit to fulfill the entrance requirements. Curriculum Requirements A minimum of 43 credits in Biology or Environmental Studies, with an additional 28 credits in supporting sciences. Program-Specific Core Curriculum (GE) Courses All Environmental Science majors automatically meet the Core Curriculum requirement of 6 credits of science and mathematics. The foreign language requirement is met by two years in high school or the first 4 credits in college. PHIL 215 is strongly recommended for all Environmental

A Bachelor of Arts degree in History is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate and major requirements. The history major requires the completion of a minimum of 39 credits beyond the general education requirement, 24 of which must be upper-division. Learning Outcomes Program Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the Bachelor of Arts in History, students will be able to: 1. Develop a body of historical knowledge that demonstrates both breadth and depth in terms of content, a firm grasp of chronology, and an understanding of relevant geography and also provides the context for a particular historical problem (ULO 1). 2. Evaluate a variety of historical sources for their credibility, meaning, significance, and perspective and demonstrate an ability to place them in historical context (ULO 1). 3. Analyze multiple scholarly viewpoints that provide perspective on the past; identify and summarize other scholars' historical arguments; and recognize the importance of building on other scholars' work, peer review, and citation (ULO 1). 4. Craft a historical narrative and argument by generating a significant question and finding and choosing appropriate sources, which is reasoned and based on historical evidence selected, arranged, and analyzed (ULO 3).
