Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science Roadmap – Quantitative Reasoning Category I/II
120 Total Units Required
Minimum Number of Units in the Major: 65
This roadmap is a suggested plan of study and does not replace meeting with an advisor. Please note that students may need to adjust the actual sequence of courses based on course availability. Please consult your Degree Planner and an advisor for further guidance.
To avoid taking additional units, it is recommended that you meet the SF State Studies (AERM, GP, ES, SJ) requirements within your GE or major.
