To receive your bachelor of science degree from The University of Findlay, you must also complete BS/Graduation and Degree Requirements in addition to your environmental, safety and occupational health management curriculum.
The environmental, safety and occupational health management major consists of required environmental, safety and occupational health management courses, required math and science courses, required School of Environmental and Emergency Management Training Center (ERTC) courses and elective courses from an approved list. Students may choose to take additional ERTC courses; however, only 1½ hours of ERTC elective courses can be counted toward graduation. Students must participate in at least one internship, cooperative position or cumulative experience for academic credit which allows students to gain practical on-the-job experience.
A major in environmental, safety and occupational health management consists of ESOH 100, 150, 180, 205, 270, 300, 315, 316, 316L, 420, 425; one hour of ESOH 490 or 495; BIOL 405 or 412 and 412L; BIOL 201 and 201L; CHEM 111 and 111L or 130 and 130L; CHEM 325 and 325L; CSCI 190; MATH 123; MATH 140 or 141; PHYS 250 and 250L; 1½ hours of ERTC courses from ESOH 135, 152, 153, 155, 160, 163, 206, 207, 208 or 485. In addition, students must complete 24 hours of electives from ESOH 320, 325, 335, 400, 405, 410, 415, 423, 427, 429, 435, 440, 465, 498; CHEM 131, 131L; GEOL 300, 410; NSCI 323; an additional four hours of physics or an additional 400-level biology course. This major is accredited by the Applied Science Commission (ASAC) of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 - telephone (410)347-7700.
A minor in environmental, safety and occupational health management consists of 22 hours including ESOH 180, 270, 300, 315 and two other upper-level ESOH courses. Training courses are taught at the School of Environmental and Emergency Management (ERTC) and are usually offered on weekends during the academic semester. Only one and one-half hours of elective training courses can be counted toward graduation.
An environmental, safety, and occupational health management major consists of the 27 hours within the environmental, safety, and occupational health management core, three hours of specialized training courses, 30 hours of required math and science courses, and the completion of an ESOH emphasis area. Students may take as many of the Environmental Resource Training Center (ERTC) courses as they choose; however, only six hours may be counted toward graduation. Note, these options do not hold ABET accreditation.
