The Pre-Professional Curriculum consists of 60 semester hours plus one hour of physical education. This meets the University Core Curriculum requirements. It may be completed at the University of Georgia or at other institutions. Students taking the pre-professional course work at another institution should contact Matt Head, Academic Advisor (706.542.1133) in the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources for confirmation of transfer credit.

The Warnell School Pre-Professional Curriculum is comprised of specific UGA Core Curriculum courses. To learn more about the required courses see the UGA Bulletin. (http://www.bulletin.uga.edu/bulletin/prg/index.html)

SPECIFIC PRE-PROFESSIONAL CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS:

• Area A: Essential Skills
• ENGL 1101, English Composition I, 3 hours
• ENGL 1102, English Composition II, 3 hours
• MATH 1113, Precalculus, 3 hours
• Area D: Science, Mathematics, and Technology
• BIOL 1107-1107L, Principles of Biology I, 4 hours
• CHEM 1211-1211L, Freshman Chemistry I, 4 hours
• MATH 2200, Analytic Geometry & Calculus, 3 hours*
• Area E: Social Sciences
• ECON 2106, Principles of Microeconomics, 3 hours
• Area F: Courses Related to the Program of Study
• BIOL 1108-1108L, Principles of Biology II, 4 hours
• CHEM 1212-1212L, Freshman Chemistry II, 4 hours*
• STAT 2000, Elementary Statistics, 4 hours
• SPCM 1100, Introduction to Public Speaking, 3 hours
• Major-Related Elective

All Programs:

The Major-Related Elective in Area F depends on the major intended by the student. Forestry and Wildlife majors may select any course which carries degree credit (i.e., no P.E. courses) and for which they have the necessary prerequisites. Fisheries & Aquaculture majors are encouraged to take CHEM 2211-2211L (Organic Chemistry I). Water and Soil Resources majors should take PHYS 1111-1111L (Physics I). New Natural Resources Recreation and Tourism majors should choose one from ANTH 1102 (Introduction to Anthropology), GEOG 1101 (Human Geography), or INTL 1100 (Introduction to Global Affairs).

The Cultural Diversity Requirement must be satisfied before graduation. The Requirement may be satisfied by taking a course from an approved list.

Many of these courses also count in Pre-Professional Core Areas. The selection of a course that satisfied the Cultural Diversity Requirement and a Core Area will satisfy both. Study Abroad courses will also fulfill the Cultural Diversity Requirement.

*For Natural Resource Recreation and Tourism Majors Math 2200-2200L and Chem 1212-1212 are not required as part of the Pre-Professional Curriculum.
