Further Recommendations
Because of the large number of required credits and prerequisite courses, it is important for students to follow the freshman and sophomore suggested course sequences. Students need to be aware of the sequential nature of many prerequisite courses and courses in environmental science. Particularly in the junior and senior years, care must be taken in planning the student’s program because many courses are offered only once every two years.
Transfer Students
Transfer students are welcome. At least 18 credits of 300/400-level environmental science courses must be completed at Brockport regardless of the number of credits transferred.
