Eastern Iowa Community College is nationally-recognized as a leader in environmentally-related issues.

The college's Health, Safety and Environmental Technology program was created more than 20 years ago with funding from the Environmental Protection Agency. The program is entirely online and includes students from across the country and even the world.

In the Fall of 2009 the college unveiled a new Renewable Energy Systems Specialist program. Response to the program has been overwhelming. A line of interested students wound through the hallways during our initial open house. The program trains technicians to work in such areas as wind, solar and biofuel energy.

Our most recent addition to this area is a cooperative program with Western Illinois University. The Natural Resources Management Track is especially exciting not only because it can lead to a four-year Bachelor’s Degree but also because students receive hands-on training at the nearby Nahant Marsh Education Center.
