NOTE: All CNR majors require four introductory natural resource courses (Natural Resources 150, 151, 250 and 251), that
may not be offered at other colleges. These four courses are prerequisites for the CNR Summer Camp requirement, which is
normally taken after the sophomore year since Summer Camp is a prerequisite for most upper level courses. If these classes
are not offered at your College, it is recommended that you transfer to UWSP after completing one year at the UW-Colleges,
especially if you are majoring in forestry, soils or water resources.
