Good find. Especially interesting that it carries ABET accreditation. Not all that much more expensive than the Columbia Southern program, either, which is on my short list for the next degree. Only downside to this one is that certification prerequisite.

Columbia Southern's program is pretty interesting. Currently in it, and the courses are self paced, so i can go through pretty quickly, but lord some can be a bit boring.

Oh, so it's you who was taking the Columbia Southern program before they gained RA status... I remember someone was taking the program and pacing themselves in the program, basically waiting for them to be RA and then finishing off the program then. Cool! That's a great way to get a RA Masters degree of your choice...

Well, a boring day at the hazardous waste dump beats an exciting one, right? 

Are the courses all papers, or have there been some exams, too? Thanks!

After exploring a bunch of options, including the Missouri program here, the U of Idaho Environmental Science program, Unity’s master’s degrees, and all the frequently discussed MBA, Data Science, MEd, etc programs… I decided on the Columbia Southern MSOSH / Environmental Management concentration for my first master’s degree. Got my acceptance yesterday, and will start later this year after I finish up second undergraduate degree at TESU.

UCMO is one of the handful of online options out there if you want to qualify as an Environmental Health Officer in USPHS.
