Master of Science in Safety Science
The Master of Science in Safety Science (MSSS)
degree program is designed to provide the safety and aviation professional
with an experiential and practical educational experience to enhance
the practice of occupational health and safety. The degree will
produce safety professionals who are skilled in providing safety
management expertise, and who can provide leadership and guidance
in compliance issues involving EPA, OSHA, DOD, FAA, DOE and state
health, hygiene, and workplace standards.
These safety professionals will be prepared for service in the
aviation and aerospace industry or other industries and organizations.
The MSSS degree prepares graduates for several professional job
settings such as: director of safety in industry and in government,
operational and maintenance safety personnel, aviation or industrial
safety personnel, flight safety personnel, aircraft accident investigators,
designers, and manufacturers in technological industries including
aerospace. It offers an opportunity to explore not only the theoretical,
but the hands-on and pragmatic discipline that occupational health
and safety has become.
Particularly in light of the public and government interest in
safety within the aerospace and technical industries, this degree
offers occupational health and safety professionals the advanced
education and credentials necessary to succeed in the practice of
safety.
The MSSS is a 36 credit hour program of study composed of a General
Safety Science Core (12 credit hours), a Research Core (6 to 9 credit
hours), and electives (15 to 18 hours).
Professional
employment opportunities for graduates include safety professional,
aircraft crash investigator, ergonomist, and industrial hygienist.
Due to the generalist structure of the program, these opportunities
will exist in county/state/federal government (OSHA, FAA, NIOSH,
DOD, NTSB, EPA), in the aviation/aerospace industry, in general
industry, and with organized labor.
