EHS/ Environmental Masters degrees to become an Environmental Compliance Manager?
Hello! I have a degree in Environmental Science with a minor in Forestry, as well as a Sustainability Certificate. I am currently working in the EHS sector for a large manufacturing company and have progressed into a Safety Manager role. I originally started as an Environmental co-op, then moved into a corporate role as an Environmental Specialist, and am now in my current position to gain broader experience.
I would like to transition back into an environmental-focused role—my long-term goal is to become an Environmental Compliance Manager. After doing some research, it seems that I need, at a minimum, my REP (Registered Environmental Professional). To be eligible, candidates must hold a graduate degree in an environmentally related field.
My question is: What Environmental Master’s degree should I pursue to build the strongest background and experience for a career in Environmental Compliance? I would greatly appreciate your insights!
