Hazardous Substances - Degree Options
Master of Public Health
The HSAT curriculum provides a comprehensive and solid grounding in the principles and practice
of occupational safety and health for professionals in or entering the
hazardous substance work force. This program in the Department of Environmental Health Sciences, provides
both technical and non-technical skills that respond to the trainees'
background and interests:
The two-year MPH program provides a dual specialty in Industrial Hygiene
and Hazardous Substances. The IH-HSAT
option provides more comprehensive treatment of environmental health
issues, including in-depth treatment of environmental chemistry, impact
assessment, risk assessment and sampling, and the completion of a field
experience.
Students also must complete 40 hour HAZWOPER training (Hazardous
Materials Incident Response Operations for 29 CFR 1910.120) at EPA's
facility in Cincinnati or elsewhere. The program provides competencies
in IH and students are expected
to obtain professional certification in this area.
In addition to the residential program, students may wish to consider the On Job/On Campus Executive Education Program.
