I guess colleges are dumping degrees in influencer, Nordic lesbian, ethnic studies, frisbee, and others, feeling that a degree in climate scam will be a great grift
Climate change degree programs proliferate
The University of Chicago is the latest top-tier institution to unveil new degree programs to attract students who want to study climate change.
Why it matters: Tackling climate and energy challenges requires specialized skills and knowledge, and employers have reported gaps in worker qualifications amid an abundance of jobs.
Driving the news: The University of Chicago announced Wednesday it is creating the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Growth, which will offer undergraduate and graduate degrees.
The institute plans to hire 20 new faculty members during the next five years, with searches taking place in areas from law to materials engineering and AI.
As part of the institute, the university is rolling out a new core curriculum on sustainable development and growth.
So, overpriced “teachers”. Cool. Meanwhile, can Chicago be made sustainable with all the shootings and illegal aliens?
Obviously, they’ll only be teaching this from the climate cult POV, doing a bit of indoctrination.
P’raps they think we don’t have enough scolds in the world. But I can see where there might be a few more jobs for
global warmingclimate change degrees than in Nordic Lesbian Literature!When are they going to start that “Building Back Better” shit?
In a capitalist society it makes economic sense that a private college offer programs that attract students.
And of course, the basics of global warming science are physics and chemistry, so the students are grounded in those scientific disciplines as well.
Probably about as useful as a “Gender Studies” degree..
Will anyone be so rude to ask ymr Teach how useful his degree is at the present time?
Of course none of the previous posters bothered to actually look to see what degree holders get in pay, better just to go with your “but” reaction to something you actually know little about .
