Everglades University (EU) is excited to announce they are now enrolling for their new program, the Bachelor of Science Degree with a Major in Marine Resources Management. EU’s new program offering aligns with its other green and sustainable programs, including its Bachelor of Science Degrees with majors in Alternative and Renewable Energy Management, Environmental Policy and Management, and Land and Energy Management.

The BS in Marine Resources Management provides the opportunity for students who wish to apply specific knowledge of marine, coastal and wetlands areas to the business of managing the natural resources found in these ecologies. Sensitive to the growing need for both public and private entities to be environmentally responsible, EU seeks to prepare its graduates with the knowledge and skills that will help them successfully negotiate business, science and policy concerns, and position them to drive ethical and sustainable decision-making.

The growing need for trained professionals in these fields is rising at a faster than average rate. The National Bureau of Labor Statistics (NBLS) anticipates that employment opportunities for environmental scientists and specialists will grow eight percent in the next 10 years as a result of “heightened public interest in the hazards facing the environment” (www.bls.gov/ooh/life-physical-and-social-science/environmental-scientists-and-specialists.htm).
