Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs of Study

The Organizational Leadership and Supervision Bachelor of Science Degree offers an area of concentration in Environmental Health and Safety (EHS). EHS is a profession that involves the prevention of incidents/accidents, illnesses, fires, explosions, and other events which harm people, property, and the environment.

EHS professionals are an important component of most industries, including: communication, consulting, construction, government, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, transportation, petroleum, and utilities.

Many of our graduates pursue careers as safety coordinators, safety supervisors, safety instructors/trainers, loss control specialists, and EHS specialists once they have finished their degrees.

The Environmental Health and Safety Concentration is designated as a Qualified Academic Program (QAP) by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals. The EHS concentration, under the Organizational Leadership and Supervision program, is not an ABET accredited program.
