CIP and Fund code 03020500

Rationale for ProposalChanges are being made only to the undergraduate portion of this 3+2 program.1. To allow the OCRE students in the spring of their first year to enroll either GEOL 106 or BIOL 112. The OCRE students are interested in nonliving resources as well as living resources. We recommend the change to allow the OCRE students interested in nonliving resources in the spring of their first year to enroll in GEOL 106 .2. Change the first math requirement to either math 151 or math 140 (from math 141). Change the second math requirement to Math 142, which is a better preparation and now a prerequisite for math 142, or to math 152.

All electives must be chosen in consultation with, and approved by, the student's academic advisor. Unless courses are specifically listed, see University Core Curriculum at http://core.tamu.edu/ for a listing of course options for Communication; Mathematics; Life and Physical Sciences; Language, Philosophy and Culture; Creative Arts; American History; Government and Political Sciences; and Social and Behavioral Sciences. The 6hour University Core Curriculum requirement for International and Cultural Diversity may be met with courses used to satisfy other degree requirements.Students in the 5year program will take 12 fewer undergraduate credit hours than the other OCRE students. Graduate courses taken in the fourth and fifth year will be counted as credit towards the OCRE degree.The total undergraduate hours prior to entering the 5year program is 101. After starting the 5year program, 6 additional undergraduate hours will be taken for a total of 108 undergraduate hours. The total graduate credit hours is 36. Substituting 6 hours of MARM electives for one free and one professional elective and applying 6 hours of credit by exam results in a total of 150 hours. The total hours may be increased if the student is required to take remedial math, remedial English, foreign language or International and Cultural Diversity courses.Course adjustments will be allowed for 6 hours of undergraduate elective credit to use 6 hours of MARM elective credits.1 Indicates required courses in the Ocean and Coastal Resources major. These courses will be used to compute the major GPR. Also, if any upper level MARS or OCNG

elective courses are taken, they will be used in the major GPR. 2Either MATH 140 or MATH 151, which is preferred for a scienceoriented path, may be selected. For the second math either MATH 142 or MATH 152 may be selected. Only one of the following can be applied to the requirements for a degree: MATH 142 and MATH 151.

3Designated writing intensive course.4Field Experience may also be met with MARB 300 plus one credit hour of a field oriented lab course.5Recommended professional electives include but are not limited to: CHEM 316, CHEM 318, MARA 470, MARB 320, MARB 340, MARB 345, MARB 423, MARB 438, MARB 445, MARS 305, MARS 330, MARS 370/GEOG 370, MARS 410, MARS 415, MARS 432, MARS 435, MARS 440, MARS 484, MARS 485, MARS 491 or MARS 489.

6Credit by exam for MARS 325 and ECON 203 will be awarded after successful completion of MARS 625 and MARA 604, respectively.
