Environmental Science with Regulatory Certifications, Graduate Certificate

Overview

The graduate certificate coursework incorporates the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Occupational, Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) certification requirements. OSU is the only university in the State of Oklahoma that offers all four courses for graduate credit. Each course is designed to also meet and fulfill federal and state environmental, safety and transportation regulations.

There is no entrance exam required, and the graduate certificate is federal financial aid eligible.

Coursework

Although this OSHA training is technically voluntary, many employers, corporations, state and federal agencies and work unions require this training to work on job sites and to fulfill their safety training goals.
