 Return to: Programs of Study
Scripps College participates in a 5-College, collaborative Environmental Analysis Program that allows students to take advantage of a broad range of courses, faculty, facilities, and opportunities in the study of environmental issues.
The Environmental Analysis Program (EA) is designed to prepare students for careers in many environmental problem-solving fields, including law, policy, medicine, chemistry, conservation, global climate change, urban planning, resource management, and ethics. It also provides a solid background for careers in environmental education and community environmental action.
The program regards off-campus study abroad and global engagement as a vital, strongly encouraged, part of the major experience, enabling students to secure a deeper appreciation for the global dimensions of our environmental situation. Specially focused environmental off-campus study semesters include programs in Australia, Botswana, Denmark, and many more. Consult with Neva Barker in the Office of Study Abroad and Global Engagement (SAGE; http://www.scrippscollege.edu/sage/) and with Prof. Thomson and Prof. Spezio for more information.
