Greetings All, My order of preference for selection, all other things considered equal, from 1st to last choice would be: CIH MS - hands on CSP MS - online The specific v. general depends more on what you want to do v. what employers want. There are opportunities for both paths. Regards! Raymond L.

Specifically: - When hiring an EHS professional are you more likely to interested in a candidate's experience, or do certifications or graduate degrees carry more weight? - If graduate degrees are important, does it make a difference if they are on-line or in-person degrees? - Are employers be more interested in hiring people with specific degrees (eg, Industrial Hygiene) or more general ones (eg, EHS Management)? If you prefer to respond to these questions privately, feel free to send them to me directly and I'll pass them back to the person asking the question. Thanks for your help with this. - Ralph Ralph Stuart secretary**At_Symbol_Here**dchas.org Secretary Division of Chemical Health and Safety American Chemical Society
