- Upper Division GE Area D Class double counts as Diversity and Common Ground (GEOG 300, NAS 306, and others)
- Allowable substitutions for RRS 306 are FISH 300 and WLDF 300
- FOR 431 may be taken in place of FOR 374
- General Botany or Biology required for Life Forms GE

Major Notes:
This four year plan assumes you are ready for calculus. To meet the calculus prerequisite, take pre-calculus during your senior year in high school and pass the Math Placement Test Part 3, that is offered at every Humboldt Orientation Program. Another method of satisfying the prerequisite for calculus is to earn a grade of C- or higher in a college course that is equivalent to Humboldt's Math 115. You can use this website to find course(s) that are equivalent to HSU's Math 115:
