Nevada has a reputation as a toxic state, earned through its multitude of abandoned mines, nuclear testing sites, and low-grade radioactive waste storage. With its abundance of natural resources and public land (85% of Nevada is public), environmental groups work fervently for preservation.

Thus, it is fitting that employment opportunities are on the rise for environmentalists. Environmental engineers, for example, can look forward to a 63% increase in openings through 2012. Environmental science/protection technicians, specialists, and engineering technicians can also expect gains hovering right around 50%.

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.
