About Occupational Health
About Occupational Health
The Department of Occupational Health offers two graduate degree programs: a master (M.Sc.(A.)) and doctorate (Ph.D.) in occupational health sciences. The master's program is available on campus or in distance education format. Special Student status may be granted to students who wish to take only specific courses from our M.Sc. program. There is a maximum of 12 credits overall, with a maximum of 6 credits per semester.
Students are required to have access to a computer and the Internet as some of the course material is most readily available by accessing the web.
Master of Science, Applied (M.Sc.A.); Occupational Health (Resident) (Non-Thesis) (45 credits) |
---|
A one-year program in health and hygiene appropriate for physicians, nurses, and graduates from engineering and basic sciences. Occupational health training allows candidates to evaluate work environments and attenuate work hazards using prevention and control. |
Master of Science, Applied (M.Sc.A.); Occupational Health (Distance) (Non-Thesis) (45 credits) |
This program is currently not accepting applicants. A three-and-a-half-year program completed mostly over the Internet. |
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.); Occupational Health |
This program is currently not accepting applicants. The objective of this program is to train independent researchers in the field of work environment and health. |
