We have educated more than 2,500 safety and health professionals over the past thirty-eight years, with employment placement rates consistently above 90 percent. These graduates have excelled in their careers and are employed in a variety of industries, such as chemicals, construction, steel, consulting, insurance, and manufacturing.
