The purpose of this short survey is threefold:

  • Identify the key resource drivers for EHS programs at colleges and universities
  • Determine the key predictors most influential in determining institutional EHS program staffing and expenditures
  • Produce an “industry average” estimate of university EHS staffing and expenditures
Your participation is critical in developing important information not only for the EHS profession, but being attuned to this information on your own campus can pay enormous dividends. This information will be combined with other publicly available data to better estimate EHS program resourcing for colleges and universities.
