Master of Science Environmental, Health and Safety Management

Format: Online

Program Description:

The environmental, health, and safety management MS ensures that graduates can identify and leverage the regulatory, voluntary, and business drivers for environmental health and safety (EHS) programs to design and implement effective EHS management systems and programs. The emergence of voluntary standards and codes of conduct, including international standards, coupled with the need to manage costs and limit resources has resulted in a trend to go beyond regulatory compliance. Now, companies work toward sustainability through the use of environmental, health, and safety management systems, which are integrated into key business processes. Course work emphasizes the synergy of environmental, health, and safety management from the perspective of a systems approach as well as a business approach. Cross-functional content prepares graduates for a broad spectrum of EHS professional roles.
