Can I count the same course towards both the ENSC Core Curriculum (Sections B & C) and my Specialization (Sections D)?

Wednesday, January 30th, 2013

No. Courses taken for a Specialization cannot double count with courses in the ENSC Core.

Do I have to choose a Specialization?

Wednesday, January 30th, 2013

Yes. Discuss the choices with your advisor. To declare a specialization you need to complete the “Specialization Declaration Form” available from your advisor.

Do I really need to have all of the prerequisites before taking the course for which they are required?

Wednesday, January 30th, 2013

Yes, usually.  If you have not taken the prerequisites but feel that you have adequate background to successfully complete the course, check with the course instructor to determine if he/she will allow you to take the course.

Are there ways to avoid Baccalaureate Core requirements?

Wednesday, January 30th, 2013

Do I have an Environmental Sciences advisor?

Wednesday, January 30th, 2013
