3、ng up the physical campus-energy-efficient dorms, locally grown fare in cafeterias and pledges to reduce carbon emissions. Now, academics want to devote attention to whats taught inside all those LEED- certified classrooms. Driven partially by market forces and partially by growing student concern o
4、ver the environment, green majors have become a hot commodity on campus. Universities launched at least 27 sustainability-themed programs, degrees, or certificates in 2007, up from just three in 2005. And thats in addition to the scores of environment-related degrees, like environmental science or b
5、iology, that already existed. “ Students are really interested in campus sustainability and thinking about the environment in terms of a future career, “ says Stephanie Pfirman, president of the Council of Environmental Deans and Directors. “ It used to be jobs versus environment. Now its jobs and e
6、nvironment. “ Green degrees are available in a wide range of academic disciplines-from architecture to agriculture, from engineering to interior design-and in every sort of school, from small private colleges in the Midwest to large state universities in the South and Southwest. And in all this vari
7、ety, there is one common thread: students signing up for these courses arent just looking for a major. Theyre looking to join a movement.For some schools, focusing on the environment is nothing new. The College of the Atlantic has had exactly one major since its started offering classes in 1972: hum
8、an ecology. Located on a 108-square-mile island off the coast of Maine, the school had students take on projects last year that varied from building an on-campus garden to working on an organic garden in Chile. In 2008 the college also added a program in Green and Socially Responsible Business. Stud
9、ents can still take courses in the ecology of the winter coastline, but now they can also take Business and Non-Profit Basics. “Students are really moving toward this, “ says Jay Friedlander, who directs the schools new business program. “Theyre seeing that if you want to affect change in the world,
10、 you can do so with a powerful business model that improves society. “ Green Mountain College in Vermont, an environmental liberal arts college founded in 1834, recently updated its curriculum to adapt to the mainstreaming of green principles. This fall theyll start offering a course in renewable en
11、ergy and ecological design where students will have the opportunity to graduate as LEED-certified contractors.As these new programs emerge, students are also changing their approach to disciplines that have long dealt with the environment. Environmental studies has been a core on campus since the ea
12、rly 1980s, but todays students are more interested in practice than theory. Pfirman, for example, has taught a climate-change class at Barnard for 15 years. She says more students than ever are coming to her department and they arrive more informed, having heard about global warming throughout their
13、 childhood. “Its a basic science class but more and more, students are asking for the policy applications, “ she says. “They see the problems and they want to figure out the answers. “ At the University of Virginia, Timothy Beatley has been talking about sustainability for more than a decade in his
14、introductory urban-design course. But now his department sponsors events and activities that encourage students to put sustainability into practice. Among the most popular is the 100-Mile Thanksgiving Dinner, where members of the urban-design department try to make a Thanksgiving dinner from ingredi
15、ents within a 100-mile radius of campus. “We used it as an opportunity to learn about our region, “ says Beatley. “We were teaching these things about food systems in our class, but here we were living it. “Many schools are trying to meet another challenge: incorporating sustainability into their no
16、nenvironmental curriculum. Thats what Montana State University did last January, when they launched their Sustainable Food and Bioenergy Systems interdisciplinary degree. Its a collaboration between the colleges of Agriculture, Education, and Health and Human Development that aims to give students a
17、n understanding of the entire food cycle, from farm to fork. Ambitious nutritionists and farmers alike take courses on the basics of growing food, but also tend to the two-acre campus farm, which supplies produce to nearby residents and a local food bank. Antonette Lininger, a sophomore in the progr
18、am, has taken classes in plant biology, genetics, and Native American food systems. She spent the summer of 2009 practising on the farm, putting down irrigation and helping out in the greenhouses. The experience of growing food changed how she sees a grocery store. “It opens your eyes, makes you app
19、reciate the whole cycle, “ she says. “The distance people have put between themselves and their food hurts the economy, and maybe their soul. “ When Lininger graduates, she hopes to move to a small town or a developing country to help start a local food program.Engineering and business programs have
20、 adopted similarly green curricula. Nearly 30 percent of business departments and 22 percent of engineering schools offer undergraduate courses in environmental issues, according to a 2008 study by the National Wildlife Federation. The sustainable business major at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, M
21、ich. , is one third conventional business education, a third natural sciences, and a third core sustainable business courses. Every student participates in the Sustainable Business Innovations Lab, where they help local businesses solve their problems with sustainability. When the university began o
22、ffering the major in 2005, it was the first of its kind. Now its the largest undergraduate business major at Aquinas. “Nobody knows what the answers are, so we explore those things together, “ says Deborah Steketee, who directs the universitys Center for Sustainability. “That leads to a whole differ
23、ent way of thinking and a different way of seeking information. “ She recently took a group of students on a weeklong trip to Costa Rica. They toured a coffee farm, a clothing factory, anda mango plantation, getting a firsthand look at sustainable businesses in action.For their part, engineering dep
24、artments want to prepare their students for a world that increasingly values renewable energy and sustainable building construction. The Oregon Institute of Technology, which offered the first undergraduate major in renewable-energy engineering in 2005, sends its graduates off to a wide range of pow
25、er and engineering companies, from the traditional, like Stantec, to the renewable, like the wind-power company Vestas. “Its amazing to see how many groups are interested in green energy right now, “ says Dan Abelson, a 2009 OIT grad who just took a job with Spanish wind-power company Enerfin, for w
26、hich hell develop programs in the Pacific Northwest. “You have the tree-hugging hippies, the venture capitalists, the Silicon Valley innovators, all working together to try and figure out the next new technology. “Arizona State Universitys School of Sustainability is often cited as a model for the f
27、uture of sustainability education. Founded in 2007, its the first in the nation to offer t3. A. s and B. S. s in sustainability. The curriculum is a unique combination of academic disciplines. “You need people who are experts in chemistry, political science, law, geography, in order to really grasp
28、sustainability, “ says the schools executive dean, Robert Melnick. Students have embraced the curriculum, with 300 undergrads enrolling in the first class. While the school is still two years away from graduating its first class, Melnick sees sustainability grads faring particularly well in local go
