Requirements for the Major in Environmental Analysis
The major consists of three sets of requirements:
- Three introductory core courses:
- A track: There are two tracks for the EA major. A student must select one in which to develop a course plan:
- Environmental Science Track
- Society and Development Track
There are two options for course plan development within each of the tracks: (a) select a pre-designed course plan (see below), or (b) design your own course plan, including seven but not exceeding 11 courses total in addition to the core and capstone courses. Individually designed course plans must show depth in some foundational discipline or set of closely related disciplines, and must be cleared and approved by the EA Major Steering Committee.
- Senior Capstone (both courses are required):
- The senior thesis, to be completed in the fall of senior year (EA 191 PO )
- The senior seminar, to be completed in the spring (EA 190 PO )
