Safety & Health Management
Master of Science in Safety and Health Management
The goal of the Safety and Health Management (SHM) master's degree program is to provide students with an education or industry background in safety with the leadership, analytical, and administrative skills needed to advise management about environmental health and safety (EHS) issues in the workplace.
Through hazard analysis and risk reduction, occupational safety and health management professionals create safe and healthy work settings in industries such as agriculture, petrochemicals, governments, construction, insurance, and more. The MS-SHM degree program highlights operations aspects of EHS in the workplace and their impact on leading cutting edge, research supported risk assessment and management, loss prevention, and EHS program audits and administration.
