Howdy!

Columbia University now has a program in Earth and Environmental Science
Journalism.  It's not touchie-feelie environmental writing, but a dual
master's program in Earth science (at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory)
and Journalism (at the Columbia University Graduate School of
Journalism).  It takes two years full-time.  It is designed to give the
student grounding in both science and journalism.  If you can't handle
full-time work, they have a part-time option, but I don't believe you
can pursue the dual degree part-time.

I am in the part-time journalism program at Columbia and have been able
to do quite a bit of science and environment writing regardless.

The University of California-Santa Cruz has a nice program for science
writing, particularly for those with little or no journalism
experience.  John Wilkes is the name of the director, I believe.  He
referred me to Columbia because I was more experienced than the type of
person they typically target.  Anyway, I was impressed by what they had
to offer at Santa Cruz and have talked to a number of graduates who were
more than pleased by what they learned.

I think the University of Colorado at Boulder may have a similar
program.  I'm not sure, but if it exists it is in their journalism
school.
