This program is open only to students in the B.Sc. or B.Sc.(Ag.Env.Sc.) Major Environment.

For the statistics requirement in this domain, you should consider taking BIOL 373 or AEMA 310 (M) instead of MATH 203. They are more suitable for life sciences. Generally, statistics is recommended over Calculus 3 for life sciences, although if you want to take upper level oceanography courses in ATOC, you will also need Calculus 3.
