Nebraska channels money into environmental issues in a unique way: the Nebraska Environmental Trust receives 44.5% of the Nebraska Lottery profits, and uses that money toward water conservation, habitat protection, and recycling programs.

The job outlook for the environmentally-minded looks bright - environmental engineers, environmental scientists and protection technicians, and environmental engineering technicians can all expect an increase in opportunities of over 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.
