Our master's program in environmental health and safety equips you with essential knowledge for designing and implementing management systems that help organizations achieve sustainability and safety compliance.
The field of environmental, health, and safety management has evolved dramatically in recent times. With the rise of voluntary international standards and the necessity to optimize limited resources, organizations are shifting focus from mere regulatory compliance to sustainable practices. Modern businesses incorporate integrated environmental and management systems into core operations, creating increased demand for skilled professionals who can effectively oversee these areas. Projections indicate this sector will experience faster-than-average job growth through 2030.
While environmental management, occupational health, and workplace safety represent separate fields, they overlap significantly in technical, regulatory, and organizational aspects. Contemporary professionals require comprehensive training across all three disciplines.
Alumni of RIT's environmental health and safety master's program secure positions with Fortune 100 corporations, consulting firms, academic institutions, and government bodies including the EPA, OSHA, and NYSDEC.
This advanced degree program delivers robust managerial training for establishing environmental, health, and safety systems that promote sustainable and socially responsible business practices. Students also develop technical expertise in air emissions, wastewater treatment, waste management, workplace safety, and industrial hygiene. Sustainability principles are incorporated throughout core curriculum and select electives. Coursework covers:
Developing comprehensive management systems aligned with national and international standards
Business integration strategies that advance sustainability objectives
Continuous improvement methodologies for risk assessment and opportunity identification
Designing and executing effective audit programs for environmental, health, and safety compliance
