This suggested sequence indicates the core courses and the year in which they need to be taken in order to complete the program in a four year timeframe. The sequence assumes that the student has passed level III chemistry and advanced mathematics in high school.
Year 1
It is recommended that the electives are chosen from courses that satisfy the General Education and Writing requirements of Grenfell College degrees (see Grenfell College webpages and/or University Calendar-SWGC section).
Year 2
As electives, students should consider taking two of the three courses that are required under section (d) of the Environmental Science Core requirements.
Year 3
As electives, students should consider taking the two courses that are required under section (c) of the Environmental Science core requirements.

Notes:
- Statistics 2550 should be completed before taking ENVS 3210, hence the math course must be taken in second year.
- A selection of the category (d) Core courses are planned to fit with the required second year courses, and a selection of the category (c) Core courses are planned to fit with the required third year courses.
- The introductory biology courses, Biology 1001 and 1002, are placed in the second year of this schedule. To reduce the number of lab courses that have to be taken in the second year, it is suggested that Biology 1001 and 1002 can be taken in first year in place of the two electives. It is possible, though not recommended, to defer these courses to the third year and the Biology 2600 to the fourth year.
- It should be noted that the courses are shown in the semesters in which they are usually offered. In certain years, it may be necessary to offer a particular course in a different semester to that shown.
- The suggested program sequence shown above is for guidance and students may alter the order in which courses are taken. However, students should be aware that many courses have one or more prerequisites and these limit the possible variations in programs. Also, it is intended that the courses shown will, whenever possible, be timetabled to fit. Students are not guaranteed that other arrangements will be practicable.
- Under special circumstances, the Program Chair may agree to waive a prerequisite or convert it to a co-requisite.
