The Environmental Analysis (EA) program enables students to formulate
goals for
human existence within its environmental habitat, to provide them with the
tools
to evaluate the causes and extent of human impact upon the environment, and
to
equip them with the wisdom and means to lead society toward achieving its
goals
within constraints imposed by the environment. Hence Environmental Analysis
is
truly a cross-disciplinary undertaking, drawing from virtually all
disciplines
across the humanities (where we consider the condition of humankind), the
sciences
(where we study the environment) and the social sciences (where we learn how
to
organize ourselves).
A singular feature of the Environmental Analysis major
lies in its diverse disciplinary possibilities with great latitude for
exploration
across the curriculum within an environmental coherence. All majors receive
grounding in at least one discipline. Forexample, a student planning a
career in
environmental law might adopt a primary focus in politics with breadth in
environmental economics and geology, while a student headed for
environmental
consultation might focus primarily in biology, with breadth in chemistry
and economics. Environmental Analysis majors may enter a variety of
professional
fields or occupations (some requiring further training), such as
environmental law
and politics,public advocacy, “green business”, teaching, environmental
journalism, outdoor education, urban planning, geographic information
systems
applications, environmental consulting, cultural studies/archaeology and
positions
in various state and federal agencies (EPA, BLM, etc.).
The following faculty support EA: Perry (Anthropology); Pinkel (Art); Fowler
and
Wright (Biology); Steinmetz (Chemistry); Palmer and Jurewitz (Economics);
Reinen,
Hazlett and Grosfils (Geology); Rindisbacher (German); Elderkin
(Mathematics);
Davis and Hurley (Philosophy); Kwok, Moore, Penprase, Tanenbaum and Zook
(Physics); Williams and Worthington (Politics); Thompson (Psychology); Irish
(Religious Studies);Grigsby (Sociology); and Leabhart (Theatre).
Cape Town Option: Pomona College offers a study abroad opportunity at the
University of Cape Town, South Africa, during the spring semesters, designed
for
Environmental Analysis students. It focuses on the environmental sciences
(both
natural and social) though students with broader interest in land-use issues
are
encouraged to apply as well. Opportunities there for independent study can
lead to senior project research. Courses taken at Cape Town may be
substituted for EA
courses taken at Pomona to satisfy major requirements, by prior approval.
Both EA 50 and 51 are prerequisite for this program.
