环境分析 is an interdisciplinary major focusing on the interaction between human and non-human components of the biosphere. The major applies approaches in the social sciences, 艺术与人文, and natural sciences to understanding and solving environmental problems.
环境分析 offers an integrated, 统一的人生观, as well as a program for creating positive change. Developing sustainable ways of living is one of the greatest challenges of our time. The 环境分析 Program combines the strengths of the five Claremont Colleges to provide robust interdisciplinary training for students interested in environmental issues.
实地研究资源, 以社区为基础的研究, 实习, and service learning include the Robert Redford Conservancy for Southern California Sustainability, the Pitzer in Costa Rica Program, and the Firestone Center for Restoration Ecology, Pitzer在安大略省的项目, 约翰·R. Rodman Arboretum, the Bernard Biological Field Station, and numerous local partnerships.
The 环境分析 Program regards study abroad as a valuable, 虽然不是必须的, 课程的一部分, enabling students to secure deeper appreciation of the global dimensions of environmental challenges. 另外, the Program encourages students to engage in 实习 and fieldwork that move them beyond the classroom and library to engage in research and action.
