In 1999, the Montana State Supreme Court ruled that residents had a fundamental and constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment, and now the state boasts a number of organizations working to preserve such a right for its citizens.

Jobs certainly are plentiful for environmentalists in Montana. Positions for environmental engineers, environmental science/protection technicians, and environmental science specialists are forecasted to increase by 30% 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.
