They are meeting the demand from students who want to help find ways to deal with the effects of climate change.

The University of Texas at Austin plans to have climate studies offerings in the fall. And Hampton University, a private, historically Black university in Virginia, is building one now.
Other schools that have created climate-related education programs include the University of Washington, Yale University and Utah State University.
