Elective Recommendation Notes

• Students must select ENGL 109 as an elective if they wish to gain membership in the College of Applied Biology of British Columbia (e.g., Registered Professional Biologist, R.P. Bio.); this designation is an employment requirement for certain ecological and environmental science positions in British Columbia.
• Many positions in ecology and environmental science require knowledge of environmental law. Students are encouraged to select ENVS 201 (Introduction to Canadian Environmental Law) as an elective.

• One 400-level BIOL field course is recommended. Field courses are intensive two-week courses held at off-campus locations during the spring term. Enrolment in field courses works differently than regular course enrolment.

• The represented sequencing of all elective types is suggestive only and can be taken in a different order, and different term, than what is shown, depending on the elective chosen, its term of offering and required requisites.
