CURRICULUM IN
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLICY
The Environmental Science and Policy program at the University of New Orleans seeks to train persons in the basic principles of business management, environmental sciences, and environmental technology. Rather than being primarily a specialist in science, engineering, or business management, graduates will have a sound knowledge of all these areas and be able to interact with specialists and to coordinate the skills of the specialists in achieving regulatory compliance, solving environmental problems, minimizing public and corporate risk, and generally addressing the broad range of environmental concerns which affect businesses, governmental agencies, and the general public. Persons successfully completing the program will be awarded the Bachelor of Science degree.
All students in the curriculum must complete a minimum of 125 credits in courses from the following core areas:
• General Degree Core (46 cr.)
• Environmental Science and Policy Core (34 cr.)
• ‑Business and Economics Core (15 cr.) a selection of approved courses in economics and management
• ‑Science Core (15 cr.) a concentration of approved courses in either biology or geology
• ‑Elective Core (15 cr.) a selection of approved courses from one of the following areas: science and technology, geography, management, urban and regional planning/environmental sociology, the concentration area not selected to fulfill the Science Core; or a combination of courses from among the elective areas.
Courses in the General Degree and Environmental Science and Policy cores are listed below. A list of approved courses for the business and economics, science, and elective core areas is available from the program coordinator. Substitution for core area courses may be allowed upon approval of the program steering committee. Students are responsible for ensuring that all prerequisites are met before enrolling in courses.

CURRICULUM IN MATHEMATICS
The Department of Mathematics offers the Bachelor of Science degree. To earn a baccalaureate degree in mathematics, a student must satisfy all requirements of the University and of the College of Sciences, as well as those of the program described below. In addition, every major in mathematics must:
1. ‑take at least 18 hours of mathematics numbered 3000 or above;
2. ‑earn a grade of C or better in each mathematics course used to satisfy the minimum mathematical requirement of the curriculum;
3. ‑take a six-hour sequence in one language in partial fulfillment of the College of Sciences humanities requirement (French, German, or Russian is recommended for students planning graduate studies);
4. ‑successfully complete the requirements of one concentration area, which shall consist of 12 hours of courses numbered 2000 or above in mathematics or in related fields, chosen with the approval of the Department of Mathematics. A grade of C or better must be earned in each course. The student may choose to concentrate in applied mathematics, computer science, statistics, geophysics, physical science, economics, etc.
5. ‑choose at least three hours of science electives in biology, if biology is not taken as the freshman lab science;
6. ‑take at least six hours at or above the 2000-level in arts, humanities, or social sciences.
7. take Mathematics 3900
Since good interdisciplinary programs require early, careful planning and may require starting a sequence in the sophomore year, the student should select a concentration area as early as possible.
Either sequence, Mathematics 2107, 2108, 2109 or Mathematics 2111, 2112, may be used to complete the first 10 hours of calculus. All courses taken must be approved by a departmental adviser.
Students not adequately prepared to enter a calculus sequence must take appropriate precalculus courses without credit toward graduation. Departmental placement determines the point of admission to these courses.
Bachelor of Science Degree
1. ‑The 12 hours of Sciences (which includes engineering) must include at least six hours in one subject, and at least six hours must be in courses numbered 2000 or above. Certain science courses are not permitted for degree credit by the College of Sciences.
2. ‑Concentrations may be primarily in a special area of mathematics or can be designed to provide interdisciplinary education in an allied field emphasizing quantitative methods.

A grade of C or better in psychology courses must be achieved in order to have the minor listed on the student transcript.
Honors in Psychology
An honors program is available to superior students majoring in psychology. Successful completion of the program results in graduation with Honors in Psychology. For admission to the program a student must have grade-point averages of at least 3.25 overall and at least 3.5 in psychology courses and must have permission of the department and the Honors Program director. Before graduation the student must take six hours of Senior Thesis (Psychology 3099), resulting in an acceptable honors thesis.
Pre-Professional Studies
Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Programs
A student who is interested in medicine or dentistry as a profession should select a degree program which will adequately prepare him or her for entry into professional school yet provide ample opportunity to pursue additional interests in varied academic disciplines. Most schools stress a four-year degree program as the best possible preparation. A student may major in the subject of his or her choice; however, the student and the adviser must be sure that the major program selected either includes those courses required by the medical or dental school or offers sufficient free electives to include 50 or 60 hours of science. The pre-medical/ pre-dental adviser in the College of Sciences should be consulted as soon as possible after the student enters the University, and such consultation is encouraged on a regular basis thereafter.
The following are the required courses for entry into LSU and Tulane medical schools to be included in 90 hours of academic work:

Additional information about the pre-veterinary medicine curriculum may be obtained in the office of the College of Sciences (1100 Science Building).
Pre-Allied Health Programs
A student planning to enter any of the following programs should contact the appropriate institution during his or her first semester at UNO for detailed information concerning admission. A list of the addresses of these institutions is available in the office of the College of Sciences (1100 Science Building). Since all programs involve competitive admission and each division or school determines its own requirements, completion of the courses listed below is no guarantee of admission. Since admission requirements for these programs change frequently, students should obtain updated advising checklists from the College of Sciences office. Upon completion of the degree requirements for any of these programs, the institution itself, not UNO, awards the degree.
Pre-Allied Dental Fields
Allied dental fields include Dental Hygiene and Dental Laboratory Technology. A student planning to enter either of these two programs should contact the Office of Student Affairs at the LSU School of Dentistry during his or her first semester at UNO for detailed information about the programs including admission requirements. Both programs involve competitive admission with each program determining its own admission requirements. Upon completion of the degree requirements for either of the programs, the institution itself, not UNO, awards the degree. A student interested in a degree in either program should contact the respective program coordinator at LSU School of Dentistry or visit the website at http://www.lsuhsc.edu.
