4. Notes
A. 100- through 300-level geology courses within the core are prerequisites for most 300- and 400-level courses, and should normally be completed before the end of the third year of study.
B. A maximum of 6.00 units from courses offered by other Faculties and Schools may be counted toward the program and/or Plan requirements. This includes courses in BMED, COMM, GLPH, HSCI, LAW, NURS, and courses offered by Smith Engineering.
