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 />
