ISHM Board Approves Missouri Southern State University’s EHS Curriculum

YUMA, Ariz. - Jan. 15, 2015 - PRLog -- The newest college or university EHS degree program to join ISHM’s Board Approved Degree Programs is the Bachelors of Science in Environmental Health and Safety from Missouri Southern State University in Joplin, Mo. “Students that earn an EHS degree demonstrate their broad knowledge in the field. When a student can combine that with a third-party, accredited certification, it says to prospective employers that the student has met certain standards for a specific field.” Fletcher noted that the partnership with ISHM is a great marketing tool for University as well as for students, when they begin to seek a position in the workforce.
