Masters Program

Masters Program

Just as a master's degree is an academic recognition granted to persons that have undergone a course of study showing mastery of a specific field of professional practice or study, IEHA's Master's Program is for IEHA’s elite members committed to continuous improvement and propagating professionalism.

Through a reciprocal arrangement, IEHA will work with Master designation holders in order to benefit themselves and all IEHA members by promoting the collective knowledge of these most experienced and accomplished members of IEHA through educational initiatives and mentorship.

Interested MESRE and MESCE members wishing to pursue this additional designation must meet the following requirements:

• Must be Certified (CESE) or Registered (RESE)for three (3) consecutive years or have at least (8) years of management experience. Must be an IEHA member for at least 1 year. 
• Provide 3 written letters of recommendation by peers noting job performance and contributions personally made to a facility, IEHA Chapter or in the betterment of the industry that will be reviewed by the IEHA Executive Director.
• MESCE applicants ( not going through a master boot camp) should provide a 2500-word essay based on a topic of your choice, highlighting an area of your expertise (examples: infection prevention, floor care, green cleaning, pest control, etc.), which will also be reviewed by the IEHA Executive Director.
• MESRE applicants ( not going through a master boot camp) should provide a 3500-word essay based on a topic of your choice highlighting an area of your expertise (examples: infection prevention, floor care, green cleaning, pest control, etc.), which will also be reviewed by the IEHA Executive Director.
