Beginning in 1986, the University of Findlay launched their Environmental Safety and Occupational Health major and certificate. It was the first hazardous waste management program in the state, and it remains an internationally recognized program. Students receive hands-on training beginning in their freshman year at UF’s nationally-known All Hazards Training Center. The program has a 100% placement rate and average starting salaries are around $50,000. Many students work for OSHA and the EPA. Students need strong communication as well as technical (science) skills. Environmental, safety and health management students work summers for employers including the Ohio EPA, Marathon Petroleum and Rolls-Royce.
