There are numerous online and traditional universities throughout the nation offering environmental degrees at all levels. Some examples include:
- Ashford University offers an online Bachelor’s of arts degree in Organizational Management with an Environmental Science concentration and a BA in General Environmental Studies.
- Oregon State University offers online Bachelor’s degrees in Fisheries and Wildlife, Natural Resources, General Horticulture, Environmental Studies, and an online Master’s in Natural Resources.

- Arizona State University offers an online Bachelor’s degree in Sustainable Leadership. All of these degree programs offer the education needed to get a leg up in the green job market.
As green initiatives become an even more essential aspect of government, business, education, and more, online sustainability degrees will be increasingly more valuable. With businesses looking to establish more sustainable practices, a certificate of education in Sustainable Studies could prove a viable employment asset in nearly any field.
Furthermore, because sustainability degrees are intrinsically involved in many different disciplines, students can translate their skills to many different sectors of business and they are not limited to employment directly within the green job market. Many employers in different areas of businesses may be drawn to a candidate with knowledge in environmental degree because they know how important sustainability and corporate responsibility is for the future.
