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.
