*Because many upper-level environmental science electives require BIOL 220 as a prerequisite rather than ES 220 (see elective list below), students may wish to take BIOL 220 and its associated pre- and corequisites to satisfy requirements 3 and 4:
Prerequisite: Organismal Biology (BIOL 120)
Corequisite: Bio Inquiry. Any one of the following:
Invasion Ecology (BIOL 131)
or Plant-Animal Interactions (BIOL 132)
or Tropical Forest Biology (BIOL 133)
or Emerging World Diseases (BIOL 134)
or Human Ecology (BIOL 135)
or Sensing the Environment (BIOL 136)
or Human Evolution (BIOL 138)
or Adaptive Patterns of Animal Behavior (BIOL 145)
or Viruses and Evolution (BIOL 147)
Corequisite: Chemistry I (CHEM 115)

Students are urged to consult with their advisors to design a program of study that best meets their interests and needs. Students electing to major in environmental studies must choose a member of the Environmental Studies Program Committee as an academic advisor.
Students are also encouraged to consider a research project, off-campus program, or internship as a way to further their studies. An internship cannot replace an elective course, but is in many cases an excellent complement to the student’s coursework.
