Combined Undergraduate and Graduate Training Program

描述（由申请人提供）：蒙大拿理工大学在一个单一的赠款下进行两个NIOSH支持的培训计划。一个本科课程导致学士学位。职业安全与健康（奥什）学位。一个研究生课程导致一个M. S。工业卫生（IH）本申请要求批准这些和第三个程序导致MS。工业卫生，远程学习-专业轨道。所有这三个方案都设在安全、健康和工业卫生部。在该部门的七名教师大量参与安全，健康和工业卫生的教学和研究。本科奥什课程提供全面的教育，培养毕业生成为杰出的安全和健康专业人员，并为社会做出贡献。该计划的前两年专注于基础学科，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。人文和社会科学贯穿于四年制课程。奥什课程是在第二至第四年的计划。在课程的128个总小时中，至少有46个学分是奥什安全课程。研究生课程旨在培养杰出的IH专业人员。这两个项目都得到了ABET应用科学认证委员会（ASAC）的认证，并有类似的必修课程。显著的差异是：（1）校园课程要求论文，而远程课程以重大项目的报告为高潮，（2）交付方式不同。远程学位可以在线完成，但学生必须参加蒙大拿理工学院校园的六天课程，以执行与健康危害采样和评估课程（IH 5286）相关的实验室。几乎每个学位课程的所有毕业生都在职业安全或工业卫生方面担任专业职位。毕业生倾向于留在该领域，并花费他们的整个职业生涯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.
