Bachelor of Science in Safety Science
Program Curriculum
The Bachelor of Science degree in Safety Science requires successful completion
of a minimum of 120 credit hours and is normally completed in eight semesters.
Students are required to complete 39 hours of General Education courses as
well as 43 hours of a Safety Science core curriculum. Transportation AOC related
safety courses fill 24 hours of the degree program with the final 14 hours
available as open electives. The Occupational Safety AOC fills 31 hours of
the degree program with 5 hours available for open electives. There are numerous
minor fields of study for the student to choose from in order to meet specific
desires.

NOTE: Students in the Aeronautical Science degree program pursuing the Safety minor who complete SF 210/320 and one other upper-level SF course will not be required to take AS 408. Students taking AS 408 are not required to take SF 210. Students selecting this option must still meet the minimum number of hours required for degree completion in their declared area of concentration.
Minor in Industrial Safety
This minor exposes students to the broader field of safety. While focusing on managing safety under OSHA and EPA regulations which all business (aviation and non-aviation) in the U.S. must adhere to, this minor also covers safety programs required by FAA.
