Show Arts, Letters and Science — Botany Arts, Letters and Science — Botany 121, 163; Zoology 30. For Soil Science majors: Botany 1, 50, 121; Geology 21. In addition, all college basic and area course requirements should be met including 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 5 are recommended. This program should be planned with the aid of an adviser. Pre-Forestry and Pre-Range Management: Two year preprofessional programs in Forestry, Range Management, and Wildlife 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, 120 and 162; Zoology 12; Mathematics 14, 18 and 21; Chemistry 11, 12, and 13; Economics 5, Geology 21; and Physics 5. In addition to the English classes listed, other classes in the humanities and social sciences should be included. Other Careers: A number of professions which are botanically 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.
