Choosing An Occupational Safety Program From Princeton
The subject matter does not change by location: hazard recognition and control, industrial hygiene, safety regulations and standards, ergonomics, and accident investigation. What changes is how you take it. Ask each college whether the program holds accreditation from the Applied and Natural Science Accreditation Commission of ABET, how much of the coursework is delivered online, and which components require you on campus. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving institution and genuinely varies, so request a written transfer evaluation before you enroll.
