If taken, GEOG 316, GEOG 365 or GEOG 366 satisfies B5 Scientific Inquiry and Quantitative Reasoning; RS 370 satisfies C2 Humanities; and ECON 360, GEOG 370 and/or URBS 310 satisfy 3-6 units of D1 Social Sciences.

*Please check with your advisor to select four courses totaling 12-14 units, with 2 courses from the Earth and Environmental Science and Policy categories.

**If courses are double counted to satisfy both GE and major requirements, additional upper division units may be needed to satisfy the minimum of 40 upper division units required for a B.A. degree.
