Course availability may necessitate departure from this course sequence 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 Room 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.
