University Enrollments for Environmental Studies on the Rise
With the “new” green revolution, according to the New York Times, more and more college students are seeking a major in environmental studies and environmental science!
The Obama Administration is focusing on creating more green jobs in the United States and the young people of today are preparing for the change! At Boston college alone; 17 students minored in environmental studies in 2003; 44 students are enrolled this year! We see this same rise in enrollment at Iowa State University and The University of Virginia!
It does my heart good to know that the next generation is focusing on preserving and protecting the planet that we live on!

Agreed.
One of my friends (after a bit of indecision) is doing environmental coursework at the University of Redlands. It’s been great getting to help him with the biological elements of his studies.
This is great to know! Hopefully, there will be more students signing up!
