Description

RIT's master of science program in environmental, health and safety management is designed to provide graduates with a solid grounding in both technical and managerial aspects of leading practices in environmental, health and safety (EHS) management. The program is designed for early- to mid-career EHS professionals and those planning a career move into this field.The last decade has seen significant changes in how organizations view and manage environmental, health and safety issues. Increasingly, companies are capitalizing on the synergies between these three areas by managing them together-necessitating that EHS professionals be cross-trained in all three functions. The emergence of voluntary standards and codes of conduct, including international standards, coupled with the need to manage costs, has resulted in a trend to go beyond regulatory compliance through the use of management systems and integration of EHS into key business processes.RIT's program in environmental, health and safety management utilizes an integrated systems focus to ensure that graduates can:identify and leverage the regulatory, voluntary and business drivers for EHS programs; design and implement effective EHS management systems and programs; design and implement performance and measurement processes to verify EHS effectiveness; and demonstrate how an effective EHS program adds value to the organization. The program is designed to be completed in as little as two years of part-time study, while working full-time. In conjunction with their major professor and graduate steering committee, students are able to tailor an individual program of study to meet their academic and career interests and needs. RIT's faculty are highly experienced EHS professionals, ensuring that the curriculum is both relevant and practical.
