In addition, all college basic and area course requirements should be met among which are English 1, 2, 3; Physical Education; Chemistry 11, 12, 13, or 24, 25, 26; Mathematics 14, 18; Physics 5 or 51 to 56; English 5; History 5; and Economics 1 and 2 are recommended. This program should be planned with the aid of an advisor. Pre-Forestry and Pre-Range Management: Two year pre- professional programs in Forestry, Range Management and Wild Life Management are offered at Weber State College. Basic requirements include: English 1, 2, and 3; Three quarters of Physical Education; Botany 1, 2, 3, 4, 50, and 162; Zoology 12; Mathematics 14, 18, and 21; Chemistry 11, 12, and 13; Economics 1 and 2; Geology 21; and Physics 5. In addi- 104 Arts, Letters and Science tion to the English and Speech classes listed, other classes in the humanities and social sciences should be included. Other careers: A number of professions which are botani- cally oriented may be started at Weber State College by taking one or more years in required subjects. Students selecting a curriculum in Soil Physics, Soil Chemistry, Soil-Plant Nutrition, Space Food Research, Landscape Architecture, and Weed Control Technology should consult an advisor to aid them in choosing the curriculum for the particular area of interest.
