At a Glance
I鈥檓 interested in this field of study. Can you tell me more about it?
Environmental analysis (EA) is the interdisciplinary study of interactions between humans and the environment (living and nonliving systems) and the complex dynamics and feedback loops therein. At Scripps, you can complete an off-campus EA major through any one of the tracks offered at Pitzer or Pomona College or you may integrate EA courses into other majors or minors. Study abroad and internship experiences also form an important part of the EA major curriculum for many Scripps students.鈥═he EA major is separate from the environmental science major, which is housed in the .
What are some courses appropriate for first-year students interested in exploring this field of study?
You should strive to complete EA 10 in your first year and EA 30L within your first or second year at Scripps.
Most EA tracks require a second STEM course beyond EA 30L, so you should also look into the Department of Natural Sciences鈥� courses BIOL 44L, EA 55L, or other introductory STEM courses selected in consultation with an adviser.
If I decide to major or minor in this field, are there certain courses that need to be taken in a specific sequence?
While EA core courses can be completed in any order, we recommend that students take EA10 and EA 30L early in their academic career. Please discuss your interests and possible timeline with an EA faculty member in your first semester.
Can students who major or minor in this field complete a second major or minor (as a double major or a major/minor combination)? If so, what are some common pairings?
The only restrictions with a major or minor in EA have to do with topical overlap. Combinations of EA with environmental science are not permitted, though there is no barrier to simply taking additional courses in these fields alongside a major or minor. Some courses in computation, economics, politics, and anthropology already count toward the EA major and minor. Potential dual or double majors should meet with faculty advisers in each discipline to discuss their interests.
