Combined Undergraduate and Graduate Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：蒙大拿理工学院在一笔拨款下开展了两个niosh支持的培训项目。本科课程可获得职业安全与健康（OSH）学士学位。研究生课程可获得工业卫生（IH）硕士学位。该申请要求批准这些和第三个项目，导致工业卫生硕士学位，远程学习-专业轨道。这三个项目都隶属于安全、健康和工业卫生部门。该系有七名教师主要从事安全、健康和工业卫生方面的教学和研究工作。本科职安健课程提供了一个全面的教育，培养毕业生的能力，作为特殊的安全和卫生专业人员，并为社会作出贡献。前两年的课程侧重于基础学科，包括普通化学、大学物理、微积分、有机化学、统计学、写作和口语。人文和社会科学分布在整个四年的课程中。职业安全与健康课程在该计划的第二至第四年。在128个学时的课程中，至少有46个学分是职业安全与健康课程。研究生课程旨在培养杰出的IH专业人员。这两个项目都通过了ABET的应用科学认证委员会（ASAC）的认证，并且有相似的必修课程。值得注意的区别是：(1)校园课程需要一篇论文，而远程课程的高潮是一篇关于一个重要项目的报告，(2)交付模式不同。远程学位可以在线完成，但学生必须参加蒙大拿州理工学院校园的六天课程，以完成与健康危害抽样和评估课程（IH 5286）相关的实验室。几乎所有学位课程的毕业生都从事职业安全或工业卫生方面的职业。毕业生倾向于留在该领域，并将其整个职业生涯用于促进工作人员的安全和健康。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Montana Tech conducts two NIOSH-supported training programs under a single grant. An undergraduate program leads to a B.S. degree in Occupational Safety and Health (OSH). A graduate program leads to an M.S. degree in Industrial Hygiene (IH). This application requests approval of those and a third program leading to an M.S. in Industrial Hygiene, Distance Learning-Professional Track. All three programs are housed in the Safety, Health, and Industrial Hygiene Department. Seven faculty members in the Department are substantially involved in teaching and research in safety, health, and industrial hygiene. The undergraduate OSH curriculum provides a comprehensive education to develop graduates with capability for serving as exceptional safety and health professionals as well as contributing to society in general. The first two years of the program focus on foundation disciplines including general chemistry, college physics, calculus, organic chemistry, statistics, writing, and speaking. Humanities and social sciences are distributed throughout the four year curriculum. OSH courses are in the second through fourth years of the program. Of the 128 total hours in the curriculum, at least 46 credits are OSH courses. The graduate programs aim to develop exceptional IH professionals. Both programs are accredited by the Applied Science Accreditation Commission (ASAC) of ABET and have similar required courses. Notable differences are: (1) the campus program requires a thesis while the distance program culminates in a report on a significant project, and (2) the mode of delivery is different. The distance degree can be completed online except students must participate in a six day course on the Montana Tech campus to perform the labs associated with the course Sampling and Evaluation of Health Hazards (IH 5286). Nearly all graduates of each degree program take professional career position in occupational safety or industrial hygiene. The graduates tend to stay in the field and spend their entire career advancing the safety and health of people at work.
