When asked what you do, how many can say …. I save<br />

lives for a Living!<br />

With over 1,200 graduates of the program since 1989 the<br />

Occupational Safety and Health Department at <strong>Southeastern</strong><br />

has steadily become one of the largest Occupational Safety<br />

programs in the United <strong>State</strong>s. The program began as a traffic<br />

and general safety department in the 1960’s and 1970’s but was<br />

converted to its present focus of worker safety in the industrial,<br />

manufacturing, transportation, insurance and construction<br />

industries in 1989.<br />

Since that time the program has seen steady growth and<br />

now averages over 300 students majoring in OSH, almost 80<br />

graduates each year at the bachelors and masters levels, and<br />

over 500 students enrolled in occupational safety courses each<br />

semester. In addition, the American Society of Safety Engineers<br />

student chapter consistently places among the nation’s<br />

best and accumulates thousands of dollars in scholarships each<br />

year for <strong>Southeastern</strong> occupational safety students. <strong>Southeastern</strong><br />

Occupational Safety students have earned over $175,000<br />

in national scholarships and grants in the past five years alone.<br />

In 2007 the program experienced two major milestones<br />

with the creation of the masters program and an OSH building<br />

renovation which doubled the academic spaces and added<br />

significant lab spaces. Additional grants by various companies,<br />

including the Choctaw Nation of <strong>Oklahoma</strong>, added much need<br />

lab equipment and training exercises bringing the program to a<br />

competitive level with any occupational safety program in the<br />

country. The Master of Science program is a primarily online<br />

program which allows students to participate from as far away<br />

as oil platforms off the coast of Africa, Middle Eastern countries,<br />

and from states all over the country. The program has grown<br />

to over 80 students. Over 25 students have graduated from<br />

the program.<br />

The program is up-to-date with the latest technology, industrial<br />

hygiene, construction and noise and vibration labs, and<br />

confined space training. The program offers both undergraduate<br />

and graduate degrees in occupational safety & health, and<br />

satisfies the needs of the profession in numerous ways. Dozens<br />

of companies recruit from the department every year and<br />

several companies come back year after year for <strong>Southeastern</strong><br />

Occupational Safety graduates. Our graduates fill the ranks of<br />

dozens of Fortune 500 companies and governmental agencies<br />

around the world. A small sampling of the worldwide companies<br />

with <strong>Southeastern</strong> occupational safety graduates include Alcoa,<br />

General Motors, Exxon-Mobil, Texas Instruments, Alcon, NASA,<br />

the US <strong>State</strong> Department, Hartford, Kiewit, Granite, OSHA,<br />

Burlington-Northern, Pratt & Whitney, Peterbilt, Chevron, Baylor<br />

Medical Center, Raytheon, the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations.<br />

The department has graduates in almost every state and<br />

School of Arts and Sciences 93<br />

numerous countries overseas. We have graduates working in<br />

all areas of industry, government, and <strong>edu</strong>cation.<br />

The <strong>Southeastern</strong> name is everywhere in occupational<br />

safety. With more emphasis on occupational safety than ever<br />

before, the Congressional mandate that companies employ<br />

safety professionals, and the lack of universities with occupational<br />

safety as a degree choice, the program is poised to<br />

grow larger with each passing year. If I can be of any help as<br />

you make your decisions, please call Dr. Wayne D. Jones, at<br />
