Institute of Technology (NJIT). Graduates or graduating students with BS
degree in Engineering, Science and Technology, with GPA 2.8 or higher are
encouraged to apply for admission/transfer to the
MS OSHE program at NJIT for the scholarship
consideration. Brief program description: The subject areas covered are Ergonomics, Biomechanics, Safety Engineering, Systems Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Statistics, and Human Factors. The program consists of 30 course credits, and a six-credit thesis. Non engineering undergraduates may be required to take additional bridge courses. MS in OSHE program covers the application of engineering principles to the design and maintenance of workplaces in order to minimize potential hazards related to job performance. Employment opportunities in the occupational safety and health field are ample. Recent graduates are employed at all levels of government, insurance carriers, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, hospitals, universities, transit authorities, and defense industries. For those who wish to pursue university teaching or research, MS OSHE graduates are qualified for admission into doctoral programs. |
