ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Department of Occupational and Environmental Safety & Health (OESH) prepares students for rewarding careers protecting America's work force, the public and the natural environment. As Environmental Safety & Health (ESH) professionals, our graduates are concerned with the interaction between people and the physical, chemical, biological and psychological factors which affect safety, health and productivity.

Coursework covers a wide range of subjects including ergonomics, accident prevention, security, and environmental protection. The students are provided with essential skills that enable them to recognize, devise and implement methods to control hazards. In addition, students are provided with a number of practical work site experiences, culminating in a full semester internship with a practicing ESH professional.
