are they are colleges out there offering "green" degree programs?

1. Of course.

You can start _here_.

4. About that University of Hawaii environmental science link?

Yeah, not so much.
John Harrison, who was super, has retired. The program exits only as an independent interdisciplinary one; there IS no department. I dearly wish that it were otherwise.

5. That's a shame.

I just offered the Google search list as a starting point for the OP, though. :)

2. Colorado State has the Global Social and Sustainable Enterprise Program

It's an MBA, kind of.

http://www.biz.colostate.edu/ms/GSSE/

I read an article about it a ways back, and they mentioned one of the key people in charge used to be in charge of the Peace Corp or something like that.

Kind of cool.

9. I'm very proud of my alma mater for this......

I think they have an organic agriculture studies program now (brand new), and their engineering department is also into alternative energy, especially their work on algae-derived biofuels.

10. ? What school is that? Cool!

11. Colorado State, the one mentioned in the post I was responding to.

14. Boooo!!

Go Pokes!!:hi:
The University of Wyoming has a great integrated Environment and Natural Resources School...crossing all departments and colleges.
http://www.uwyo.edu/enr/enrschool.asp

Recognizing that environmental and natural resource (ENR) issues inherently possess political, scientific, cultural, sociological, economic, and legal aspects, the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Wyoming seeks to transcend disciplinary boundaries and examine these complex issues from the full range of perspectives.

3. UC Berkeley energy resources group

is outstanding. I went there and took classes from people who completely changed my life. One, John Holdren, became one of Clinton's (Bill not Hill) energy advisors, and is now head of Woods Hole oceanographic institute. One, John Harte, did groundbreaking climate change research way way ahead of the game, and is still teaching there. You may have seen his plot of Sierra biota undergoing climate change, which he simulated years ago using reflectors.
Anyway, that brief period with those amazing people made a big difference to me.

There are also classes at MIT that you can take online, for free. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Chemical-Engineering/10-391JSpring-2005/CourseHome/ The textbook looks like a worthwhile purchase regardless.

Aloha!

6. Are those credit courses in a degree program? eom

7. U Mass Boston supposedly had the first green chemistry degree.

17. I saw the guy behind that program speak...

...he said his graduates are highly sought out by companies trying to find nontoxic alternatives to existing chemicals.

He's a pretty amusing speaker, and has a lot of really interesting material.

8. The Bren School at UC Santa Barbara

:hi:

12. What do you mean by "green?"

For example, SUNY-ESF (State University of New York - College of Environmental Science and Forestry) is pretty green by my definition.

[mark414]

13. i guess i mean studies in climate change, environmental policy,

alternative energies, etc. etc. etc.

16. SUNY-ESF

(As I suggested in my prior post.)

15. Sounds like you are getting a great list. Anything near where you live? Would you consider Maine

too far away?
