Occupational Safety and Ergonomics

This interdisciplinary course of study includes classes is offered with courses from the Department of Environmental Health (DEH) in the College of Medicine and the Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Nuclear Engineering (MINE) in the College of Engineering & Applied Sciences. The curriculum is designed to provide dual emphasis on the health and engineering aspects of ergonomics and safety, and to prepare the students to meet the current and future ergonomic/safety concerns of the workforce. In general, a student with an undergraduate engineering degree will apply for admission into OSE through MINE while those with majors in medical sciences, biology, chemistry, physics, psychology and management will apply through the DEH. Students are encouraged to take as many elective courses as possible from both departments in order to ensure broad based training in both the engineering and the health aspects of ergonomics and safety.

For our graduate programs, we welcome applications from students who hold a bachelor's degree (or higher) from a college or university accredited by a regional or general accrediting agency, and have at least a B average in undergraduate course work (or otherwise give evidence of promise that is judged satisfactory by the admitting program).
