SEHSC - Shipboard Environmental Health and Safety Officer Concentration

Coordinator: Professor Heather Burton

Open to Marine Science, Safety and Environmental Protection and Emergency Management majors. This provides students with electives that will enhance their opportunities for being an Environmental Health and Safety Officer aboard cruise and merchant vessels. Students will be required to participate in the Sea Term, generally in their 3rd year. The curriculum will highlight specific environmental topics for which such an officer would be responsible, with particular emphasis on Marine Pollution (MARPOL) Annexes and other regulations.
