I want to work with renewable energy after college. What should I major in?

Sarah N asked:


I’m interested in solar power in particular, but everything is game. I’d like suggestions on appropriate majors and/or courses, and work experiences/jobs I should look out for.
Are there any universities where strides in this field are being taken/interesting research is being done?

    Almost any engineering field would be great for this.

    Look into Humboldt State’s Environmental Studies program. They actually have a concentration in alternative energy.
