Degrees Go Green

With ever-more fervent interest in green everything -- technology, building et al -- it's only natural that colleges start offering an increasing number of related courses of study.

A school in the Pacific Northwest, the Oregon Institute of Technology, has launched the nation's first four-year undergraduate degree program in renewable-energy systems, which includes classes in photovoltaics, biomass and hydropower, among other things.

The New York Times has a good piece on its website.
