About Occupational Health
About Occupational Health
The Department offers two graduate degree programs: a master's (M.Sc.A.) and doctoral (Ph.D.) in occupational health sciences. The master's program is available on campus or in distance education format. Special Student status is encouraged for students who wish to take only specific courses from our M.Sc. program, but there is a maximum of 12 credits overall, with a maximum of 6 credits per semester, for those with Special Student status.
Students are required to have access to a computer and the Internet, as some of the course material is most readily available online.
