“This recognition reinforces the hard work of our occupational safety students, faculty and staff. It also speaks well for the university as a whole. Our students and those that hire our graduates have long recognized the value of the education received at UCO.”
In addition to the Bachelor of Science in occupational safety, Central offers a minor in occupational safety that can be completed 100% online or in person.
The occupational safety program is accredited as a Graduate Safety Practitioner (GSP) Qualified Academic Program (QAP) from the National Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP).
