GE denotes general education courses that may be selected from any approved course in the subject area. Selection of courses should consider satisfaction of the Writing and Math Requirement and international studies and diversity requirements (refer to the Academic Advising section of this catalog or the schedule of courses for details).
Course availability may necessitate departure from these suggested courses. Except for certain courses where sequence is important, successful completion is more important than the sequence in which the courses are taken.
Following the freshman and sophomore years, NRC students develop an individualized program of study according to their area of interest. Alternatively they can pursue defined programs in environmental education, ecotourism, wetlands ecosystems, landscape ecology, environmental pre-law, and computer information systems.
Contact the student services office in 121 Newins-Ziegler Hall or consult the SFRC web site ( www.sfrc.ufl.edu) for details.
All NRC programs must contain the course requirements given below, a minimum of five additional FAS, FNR, FOR, or WIS courses, and other courses to fulfill program objectives and graduation requirements.
