There are several free courses that can be taken online through accredited universities and colleges. These courses give you access to lectures, readings, assignments, quizzes and exams without needing to register at a school. The downside is that these courses are only offered as a primer and are not a part of any accreditation or degree program.
If you are looking to pursue a degree, an option is to head to your local community college. Environmental management courses are offered in many community colleges and adult education centers, and some even have dedicated Environmental Studies departments. These schools offer advanced degrees in Environmental Project Management, and certificates of advanced study in fields like Environmental Policy, Health and Safety, Natural Resource Management, Energy and Sustainability, and Environmental Assessment of Nuclear Power.
For those looking to earn an advanced degree in environmental project management, a master's or doctorate degree from a top university is the only way to go. Prestigious programs such as the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and the Environmental Science, Policy and Management school at University of California-Berkeley both offer degrees in this field.
The worldwide shift toward conservation and resource management has seen a rise in the establishment of environmental studies programs overseas. Graduate programs are now offered in universities across the globe, with schools in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, to name a few.
