Georgia, the largest state east of the Mississippi, has coastal plans in the south and mountains in the north. The central piedmont region is flat and ideal for agriculture. The weather is warm and muggy enough to be considered sub-tropical, but the mountains see some cooler evenings and snow in the winter. Georgia has 100 miles of mostly undeveloped, pristine beaches.

Environmental and science degree programs are offered at several schools in Georgia. Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of Georgia are perhaps the most well-known colleges, but there are quite a few smaller programs offering good field study and internship programs. Many of the environmental initiatives in Georgia are conducted at the local and grassroots levels, providing great learning and career prospects for those interested in activism and education at that level.

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.
