East Carolina University Master of Science in Occupational Safety Program

描述（由申请人提供）：东卡罗莱纳大学职业安全理学硕士（MSOS）为毕业生在职业安全和相关领域的领导职位做好准备。提供了企业安全系统设计和管理方面的学术经验。该计划的重点是职业安全（OS），这是公共卫生的一个核心学科，重点是研究和预防方案，以促进安全和健康的工作环境。MSOS计划的基本原则和总体学术目标包括确保有效的沟通技巧，批判性思考和解决职业安全问题的能力，以及发展应用研究技能。该计划的长期目标是到2007年将入学学生人数增加10%。将通过与hbcu、北卡罗来纳A&T和伊丽莎白城市州立大学的州内合作伙伴关系，专门关注这一项目。此外，ECU的目标是每位学员在同行评议的期刊或地区或国家会议上展示或发表他们的研究。我们的MSOS项目与CDC的使命宣言是一致的，因为我们提供研究生学术经验，通过预防和控制由职业危害和风险引起的疾病，伤害和残疾来促进健康和生活质量。仍然缺乏研究生水平的培训计划，专门集中在科学和管理方面的领域的职业安全。这个研究生培训满足了地区和国家对研究生水平训练的安全从业人员的需求。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Master of Science in Occupational Safety (MSOS) at East Carolina University prepares graduates for leadership positions in occupational safety and related fields. An academic experience in the design and management of enterprise-wide safety systems is provided. The focus of this Program is in occupational safety (OS), a core discipline of public health that focuses on research and prevention programs to foster safe and healthful working environments. Foundational principles and overarching academic goals of the MSOS program include ensuring effective communications skills, the ability to think critically and solve occupational safety issues, and to develop applied research skills. Long term goals of the program are to grow the number of enrolled students by 10% by 2007. A dedicated focus will be made through in-state partnerships with HBCUs, North Carolina A&T and Elizabeth City State. Furthermore, it is ECU'S goal that each trainee present or publish their research in a peer-reviewed journal or at a regional or national conference. Our MSOS program is congruent with CDC's mission statement in that we provide a graduate academic experience that promotes health and quality of life by preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability stemming from occupational hazards and risks. There remains a lack of graduate level training programs that concentrate specifically on the science and management aspects in the field occupational safety. This graduate training fulfills a need, both regionally and nationally, for graduate level trained safety practitioners.
