Connecticut's beautiful trees, small towns, and picturesque walking trails make it a laid-back but interesting place to live for environmental students. For those looking to make a career in the state, major employment areas include Brownfield remediation and rebuilding, agriculture, and fisheries and water resource management. The job market is even better for those with advanced degrees; the professional, scientific and technical services sector was Connecticut's fastest growing last decade, with a 23% increase in jobs. While that trend has slowed, it still remains the fastest growing segment of the state's economy.

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.

Introduction: The Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies offers a Ph.D. and master’s degrees of environmental management (M.E.M.), environmental science (M.E.Sc.), forestry (M.F.), and forest science (M.F.S.). Professionals with at least seven years of environmental work experience can enroll in one-year M.E.M. or M.F. programs. One student in 10 pursues a joint degree in development economics, international relations, law, management, public health, or religious studies. Requirements vary by degree, but all degrees combine foundation courses with electives. Entering students attend a three-week series of workshops in August that combine skills training with community building. Two-year students work at an internship or on a research project during the summer after the first year and complete a final project during the second year. Coursework and research are concentrated into nine broad areas that reflect areas of academic strength at F&ES. They include ecology, ecosystems, and biodiversity; environment, health, and policy; forestry, forest science, and management; global science change and policy; industrial environmental management; policy, economics, and law; social ecology of conservation and development; urban ecology and environmental design; and water science, policy, and management.
