One of Texas' fastest-growing occupations is in environmental science and protection, which is forecasted to see growth upwards of 44% through 2012. Environmental specialists also comprise a fast-growing sector with expected growth of 29%.

Texas is the second largest state (after Alaska) as well as the second most populated state (behind California). Abundant with natural resources including miles of sparkling Gulf Coast waters, lakes, rivers, desert, and plains, Texas is also famous for its rodeos, amusement parks, and vibrant music scene.

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.
