Sandy,

I thank Diane for the kind plug.  Bridgewater State College does not have a 
formal "major" in green chemistry, however both green chemistry and 
sustainability are central to the strategic plans of both the college and the 
chemistry department.  My teaching and research focuses on green chemistry, and 
our new $98M science & math building will have a "Laboratory for Green 
Chemistry Education" (we move in summer 2011).  We have also recently begun to 
include green chemistry as part of the professional development offered to 
regional science teachers.  I would be happy to speak with you and/or your 
student.

Although very few undergraduate programs have a formal major in green 
chemistry, besides BSC there are a number of excellent colleges and 
universities in MA where green chemistry is part of the undergraduate 
curriculum (my apologies if I missed any):

Gordon College
Worcester State College
Suffolk University
Simmons College
UMASS Boston

Green Chemistry is a very smart career choice, and was listed as one of the top 
future careers in the July 2009 issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education.

Feel free to contact me at any time!

Ed

Sandy;
Bridgewater State in MA is on the leading edge in this area. They began
the Green Chem major about 5 years ago. Good luck to your student!
