The beautiful Magnolia State is half-covered in lush forests comprised of 120 types of trees. Natural resources are plentiful, especially surface water, minerals, and rich soil. The warm climate makes a terrific winter home for thousands of birds and other wildlife.

Absolutely an environmentalist's dream, Mississippi offers lots of job opportunities in this field. Environmental engineers, environmental engineering technicians, and environmental scientist/specialist technicians are all forecasted to see over 36% increases in job openings through 2012.

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.
