Scripps
Honors Program in Environment, Economics and Politics
A student who is majoring in Environment, Economics and Politics may apply for honors if she has a minimum grade point average in the major of 10.5. This includes all the courses counted toward the major. She must also earn an A or A- on the Senior Thesis. She should inform her Scripps EEP advisor or Professor Morhardt in Keck Science of her intention, preferably by the latter part of her junior year.
The honors candidate who fulfills these criteria is required further to defend the senior thesis before her thesis readers, plus two additional faculty representatives – one from the Keck Science Department, and another from either the Politics or Economics Department at Scripps. It will be the responsibility of the student, once she is accepted for honors candidacy, to make all arrangements for the defense.

A dual major in chemistry requires seven upper-division chemistry courses, in addition to senior thesis. This reduces the load of a regular chemistry major by two courses. The seven courses must include: Organic Chemistry 116L and 117L, Physical Chemistry 121 and 122, at least one semester of Advanced Laboratory (either 126L or 127L), and either Inorganic Chemistry 128 or Biochemistry 177. The remaining elective can consist of either a single upper-division course or two halves. All lower-division courses and prerequisites in other disciplines (math, physics) must still be met. Students doing a dual major in chemistry are not eligible for the ACS accredited major.
NOTES: Mathematics 31, Calculus II is co-required of Chemistry 121, and Mathematics 32, Calculus III is co-required for Chemistry 122 and Biology 43L, Introductory Biology is co-required for Chemistry 177. Additional electives in chemistry, mathematics, physics and computer science are strongly recommended for all chemistry majors.
Senior Thesis in Chemistry: chemistry majors must complete a one- or two-semester thesis in Chemistry - students must do a two-semester thesis (Chem 188L-Chem 190L or Chem 189L-Chem 190L) to complete the ACS accredited major in Chemistry.

(a) If the mathematical model/equations are analytically tractable, carry out the analysis of the problem to completion (by demonstrating knowledge of and proficiency with the standard mathematical tools of physics and engineering). (b) If the model/equations are not tractable, develop a computer code and/or use standard software/programming languages (e.g., MATLAB, Maple, Python) to numerically simulate the model system.
Translate that conceptual framework into an appropriate mathematical format/model
If required, develop a physical experiment to analyze the system within the framework. This includes: Designing the experiment; Making basic order-of-magnitude estimates; Working with standard data-measuring devices such as oscilloscopes, digital multi-meters, signal generators, etc.; Identifying and appropriately addressing the sources of systematic error and statistical error in their experiment;
