The associate of applied science
degree in environmental, health and safety (EH&S) technology prepares
students to apply their skills in science, engineering, communication and
economics to issues affecting the environment. This includes such issues as
the quality of air, water and land. Other areas include workplace safety,
environmental regulation and compliance and various environmental systems.
Environmental career fields
include data collection, instrumentation, regulation, health and safety,
natural resources, waste minimization and pollution prevention.
Additionally,
the EH&S technician is in demand with a vast array of manufacturing firms.
The program has
been developed with ongoing input from an advisory committee of industry
experts to ensure the curriculum includes the knowledge and skills needed in
business and industry. Graduates of Stark State’s EH&S technology program
will be uniquely qualified to meet the needs of both the private and public
sectors as they face growing EH&S regulation and concern.
A graduate of
this program will receive an associate of applied science degree in EH&S
technology.
