Online degrees focused on environmental sustainability are uncommon at the associate''s degree level.
"Ecotech Institute has always been an innovator when it comes to the education of renewable energy practices and sustainability," said Chris Gorrie, President of Ecotech Institute. "Our content is unique, advanced and highly technical. The way we teach our students should also be cutting edge and conducive to how they want to learn. We are excited to offer online courses, which will also open up Ecotech Institute for those students who want to pursue a degree at Ecotech, but were hesitant because they didn''t want to relocate."

Consumer expectations, economic realities and government regulations will eventually make sustainable business operations, "business as usual," and Ecotech Institute''s graduates will be prepared to help guide organizations toward these goals.
