The overall goal of the industrial hygiene program is the education and practical training of degreed scientists and engineers as professional industrial hygienists. Graduates are prepared to enter careers in industry, government, academia, and other areas where the skills and competencies of an industrial hygienist are required. The program is also designed to provide graduates with the academic preparation needed to pass the certification examination administered by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene. As such, graduates are provided with classroom and field training in the anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of chemical, biological, and physical health stressors in the workplace and indoor environments. The program is delivered in a cohort format.
