With both students and employers crying, “Give us more!” this field is growing by leaps and bounds at U.S. colleges. The word is “green,” and more than 100 energy-related majors and minors sprang up at colleges this year, according to USA Today.

The increase is even more impressive if you look at 2005 when only three programs were created in this field.

Experts predict green jobs will be up 52% from 2000 to 2016 — while other fields are only expected to grow 14%.

At Arizona State University, 600 students now are majoring in sustainability studies. The University of California – Berkeley has watched its class in introductory energy jump from 40 students a decade ago to the current enrollment of 270.
