Marine Safety and Environmental Protection


College or University: Massachusetts Maritime Academy

Type of degree: B.S.

Brief overview of program: The Marine Safety and Environmental Protection Department consists of two programs, either of which students may choose as a major. One program is Marine Safety and Environmental Protection; the other is Emergency Management. Because environmental, safety and emergency issues and events often overlap, the two programs share a common curriculum for the first two years. As juniors, students choose to major in one program, with the option of taking a minor in the other program. A few students undertake a dual major. The Marine Safety and Environmental Protection program takes Environmental Science to another level. MSEP prepares students for a wide range of rewarding government, non-profit and private sector careers in the fields of marine and industrial health and safety, environmental protection and environmental management. The program’s breadth of practical coursework and experience ensures, as an MSEP graduate, you‘ll successfully transition from college to a career track job in the field of environmental health and safety. An amazingly diverse array of career opportunities exist due to global challenges such as climate change, diminishing natural resources, environmental degradation, increasing demands for energy, and booming economic development in developing countries.
