Environmental Engineering/Safety? Bioengineering? BS

[GoodYellowDogs]

If he really wants a science-oriented program over emergency management, I'd go for one of three options: earn a safety or environmental health undergrad (ABET, EHAC, or CEPH-accredited program preferred), earn an undergrad in engineering or engineering technology (preferably a major that involves chemistry and biology), or earn an undergrad in a science (preferably in chemistry, biology, microbiology, or environmental science). At the master's level, it's easier to find environmental engineering and other engineering degrees. I've seen more online biomedical engineering than bioengineering programs. There's an abundance of MPH (environmental health concentration) and master's in safety programs online. If he majors in emergency management, he'll likely have to complete some science prerequisites to get into a graduate safety program down the line; he'll need almost another bachelor's degree just to get into a graduate engineering program. This is assuming that he hasn't already completed several biology, chemistry, and physics courses.
