Environmental Science Master of Science - Degree Requirements (Industrial Hygiene) |
| UHCL programs in Safety or Industrial Hygiene, at the Bachelors and Masters level, are designated by the Institute for Safety & Health Management (ISHM), so that graduates of these programs can now apply and become Associate Safety & Health Managers (ASHM). Our graduates can sit for the CSHM exam 2 years after graduation. This is a saving of 3 years. See letters for Safety and IH, as well as certificates for Safety and IH from ISHM. |
