  • Biochemistry (BIOC)
  • Earth Sciences (ERTH) except ERTH 2415, which may be used only as a free elective for any B.Sc. program.
  • Students in Earth Sciences programs may use ERTH 2401, ERTH 2402 and ERTH 2403 only as free electives.
  • Environmental Science (ENSC)
  • Physics (PHYS) except PHYS 1901, PHYS 1902, and PHYS 2903.
