New Jerseyans are committed to environmental protection and activism, and dozens of organizations are in existence working toward the preservation of bays, estuaries, watersheds, wetlands, coasts, and native plants. The future for aspiring environmentalists in New Jersey looks good, with geoscientists and hydrologist expected to see an increase topping 30%, while environmental science and protection technicians and scientists are slated for growth over 25%.

New Jersey boasts 127 miles of Atlantic coast and famous beaches, as well as 61 acres of water throughout. Recreation opportunities abound within its borders, and its location between New York City and Philadelphia keeps any resident or visitor from ever getting bored.

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.
