Despite difficult economic times, concern for both the health and safety of the worker and the preservation of our natural environment has never been greater. Progressive
organizations have demonstrated that while strong environmental health and safety programs
require a commitment of considerable dollars, in the long run this commitment saves money,
maximizes profits, prevents injuries, saves lives, and preserves our natural resources.
Not surprisingly, the strong demand for qualified environmental health and safety personnel is expected to
continue for many years, regardless of the economy. The UMD Master of Environmental Health & Safety
program has a time honored reputation for preparing highly qualified graduates for this
most rewarding field of endeavor.
