Note(s)

* MATH 105 and MATH 106 do not satisfy MTA.

Transfer students should take MATH 110 which will fulfill the math requirement.
Bay has an articulation agreement with LSSU whereby courses in this program transfer into a B.S. of Environmental Management.
Students will need to complete additional General Education requirements to satisfy MTA. See course catalog for additional information about the Michigan Transfer Agreement.
Students should also check with their transfer institution for the level of math required.

** CHEM 110 and CHEM 112 are recommended for the first and second semesters for students transferring into a Baccalaureate degree. Students should check with the transfer institution.

Students who choose to take CHEM 110 also need to take CHEM 112 to meet program requirements.
Students who take CHEM 108 do not need CHEM 110 or CHEM 112 ; however, CHEM 108 is not transferrable in most cases.
