Like other B.S. degrees, the EEC degree requires a large number of different courses. To complete the degree in four years while taking reasonable course loads requires careful planning. Some courses are only offered once every 2 years. Course meeting times may conflict. Consult past course schedules to determine when and how often courses are usually offered, or ask in the departmental office.
Many courses have prerequisites.
Taking more than two lab courses in a single semester is usually a poor strategy, simply because of the time that labs require. Take courses in areas you think you are interested in as soon as possible, when you can still change your plans with as little delay in your graduation as possible. Notice how it meets the criteria just described. It barely meets the minimum number of hours, since it has 131 hrs and 130 hrs are required. Notice how it is tailored to meet this student's particular interests in plant biology and in ecology.
