<p>I'm currently a junior in high school and I think I want to do something with alternative/renewable energy but I don't know any colleges or majors that would allow me to do that. </p>
<p>Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>“Arizona State University’s School of Sustainability is the first of its kind: a comprehensive degree-granting program with a transdisciplinary focus on finding real-world solutions to environmental, economic, and social challenges. Established in spring 2007 and enrolling undergraduates since fall 2008, the School is part of the Global Institute of Sustainability.”</p>
<p>Various types of engineering like electrical, chemical, materials, mechanical, and nuclear are likely to be relevant to careers in energy, although they also have career paths in other subareas of their fields.</p>

<p>Are you looking for four year programs, or are you interested in two year programs, which would be more technical or hands on? If its a two year, pm me, and I will send you the info of the programs at our local community college; you may find similar programs closer to you.</p>
<p>I’m an engineer and work in the solar power industry, I’m also a LEED AP FWIW. Mechanical and chemical (process) engineering is a common path here, civil engineering is big when it comes to site design, especially for the big solar farms. I would say engineering would be the way to go, unless you want to get in on the business end.</p>
<p>I’m looking for a four year program for sure. And I’m thinking probably engineering and possibly something with chemistry? The only reason I say chemistry is because we recently did a unit on nuclear chemistry in class and I thought that fission and fusion were really interesting.</p>
