Major Academic Plan (MAP)
Consult the HSU catalog for complete list of of major program courses. See current Schedule of Classes for courses offered in General Education, American Institutions and Diversity & Common Ground requirements. Students should review their DARS report and consult with their advisor every term.
Major: Forestry Option: Forest Soils - BS
Minimum of 120 units (40 upper division) required for B.S. degree
Note: This is a model four-year plan, not a guaranteed sequence or contract, based on the 2009-10 catalog. For updates, please see major advisor.

Assumptions:
- One Lower Division GE Area D Class also counts for American Institutions (HIST 110, HIST 111, PSCI 110, and others)
- One Lower Division GE Area C or D Class double counts as Diversity and Common Ground (RS 105, GEOG 105, ES 105, and others)
- 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
- General Botany or Biology required for Life Forms GE
- Fundamental Chemistry required for Physical Universe GE
- Calculus for Biological and Natural Resource Sciences required for Math Concepts GE
- SOIL 462 or SOIL 465 may be taken in place of SOIL 467
- SOIL 462, SOIL 465, and SOIL 467 are generally offered every other year.
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:
