Many eligible courses are taught at Harvey Mudd, but students are able to take courses from the other colleges in the Claremont University Consortium.

• Requirements
  Students must declare their intention to pursue an Emphasis in Environmental Analysis in or before their fifth semester. This involves filling out a form approved by an EEA advisor on the Harvey Mudd College Emphasis in EA Sakai site.
• Certificate

• Departments and Advisors
  Biology – Adolph, McFadden
  Chemistry – Daub, Hawkins, Van Ryswyk
  Computer Science – Erlinger (on leave)
  Engineering – Cardenas, Spjut

Students may access the mailroom using a combination code available from the mailroom staff or the Division of Student Affairs. U.S. Postal Service (USPS) mail is sorted by student staff daily, typically by dinner time. Package delivery is handled separately from letter service. Students will receive an email notice if they have a package available for pickup in the mailroom. The addressee’s signature will be required before the item can be released. The mailroom is also a pickup site for DHL, FedEx, UPS and USPS packages. Students may leave properly addressed and prepaid outgoing packages with the mailroom staff for pickup. Students may also purchase postage stamps at the mailroom. The student mailroom is not a substation of the U.S. Postal Service or any other shipping company. The Claremont Post Office is within walking distance, at the corner of Second and Harvard in The Village.

Students send their mail to 301 Platt Blvd. Claremont, CA 91711
