When it comes to having a diversity of environments, it doesn't get much better than Alabama. From the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River to the Gulf, Alabama has got a little bit of everything. It is one of the largest states in the Eastern part of the country, and throughout its history has relied on agriculture, manufacturing, and commerce to sustain its economy.

There are several renowned research institutions in the state, and there are smaller private and public colleges spread out all over the state. Auburn University, Alabama A&M University, and the University of Alabama have some excellent environmental programs, especially for those interested in forestry, natural resources management, and similar fields.

Introduction: The distance-learning program in Coastal Zone Management at Nova Southeastern University’s Oceanographic Center provides a timely, credible forum for learning about key national and international issues and case studies related to the ecology and management of the coastal and marine environment, including ongoing research at the Oceanographic Center. The flexible distance format makes it ideal for adult learners, including working professionals and college graduates in a variety of related fields. Courses may be taken individually for general interest, undergraduate or graduate credit. We offer a full online MS in Coastal Zone Management and a 4-course Graduate Certificate in Coastal Studies. Our distance MS in Education with Specialization in Environmental Education is available through the National Graduate Teacher Education online program. The “Study Abroad” program provides a jointly-taught MS in Marine Biology with a field station of the University of London.
