Several U.S. universities offer programs in environmental journalism, and many others offer courses in the subject as part of more comprehensive education programs in journalism or the environment. An SEJournal article by Sharon Friedman, Iacocca Professor and Director of the Science & Environmental Writing Program at Lehigh University, discussed the increasing number of options for environmental education.

In addition, numerous mid-career training opportunities are available for journalists who specialize in the environment or who would like to. Environmental journalism awards are also available.
