Program Mission

The Bachelor of Science in Aerospace and Occupational Safety program is designed for students who have a keen interest in safety and want to work to prevent potential hazards. ERAU’s long history, focused on safety, has positioned the university to offer an unmatched learning experience concentrating on identifying and minimizing potential hazards. The B.S. in Aerospace and Occupational Safety program gives students direct access to a dedicated and focused faculty who bring years of experience in the field of occupational safety and health.

Because of the multidisciplinary course material, students graduate prepared to work not only in the aviation industry but also in areas such as manufacturing, construction, insurance, transportation, entertainment, and government services.

This program prepares its graduates to provide safety management expertise to organizations following federal regulations and standards from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Transportation (DOT), as well as state environment, health, hygiene, and workplace requirements. 

The curriculum also meets the Aviation Accreditation Board International (AABI) standards.

Students typically engage in a variety of co-ops and internships across a variety of local, national, and international organizations focused on general safety, training, operations, analytics, and transportation. Learn more about our Career Services Resources.

Students will study authentic scenarios and learn critical analysis in settings such as The Crash Lab that allows students to examine aviation accidents. Students in this program are often called upon to evaluate and identify potential hazards from other University projects, too. Two student organizations, the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) and the International Society of Air Safety Investigators (ISASI) provide students leadership and networking opportunities outside the classroom.

Program Educational Outcomes

The Aerospace and Occupational Safety program exists in partial fulfillment of the University’s purpose “to provide a comprehensive education to prepare graduates for productive careers and responsible citizenship with special emphasis on the needs of workplace safety, health, environmental, and related fields.” 

Within a few years of graduation, Aerospace and Occupational Safety alumni are expected to be employed in a key contributor and/or supervisory/managerial role that requires the application of their AOS degree program.

In addition, graduates will be active members in a professional society such as ASSP, AIHA, ISASI, etc.

Graduates will have achieved one or more of the following:

• Professional Certification, such as ASP/CSP
• An advanced degree to support their career growth

Program Mission Statement: The B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies program consists of general education, a core curriculum, and three minors. General education provides a broad foundation of study, upon which the IS core expands. The core helps students become effective critical thinkers who understand that information and skills from multiple disciplines can interrelated meaningfully and usefully. The core responds directly to calls by American corporate leaders for graduates who understand both technology and human behavior. To that end, students choose from courses in aviation and aerospace, communication, the humanities, international studies, philosophy and ethics, psychology, and business. In the capstone experience, students choose either a thesis or a cooperative education experience. The element of choice in the program allows students to develop their own degree programs, by building on their individual strengths and interests. Depending on their interests, students can prepare for careers in aviation and aerospace and related fields, business, the military, graduate studies, or law school. The IS program seeks to graduate students with an entrepreneurial spirit who will cross boundaries, make creative connections, be flexible in a changing career environment, and become leaders in aviation and aerospace.

Program Mission Statement: The Interdisciplinary Studies program consists of core requirements and three minors. The core requirements in this program help make our students worldly thinkers who understand that information and skills gleaned from one area of life can be applied to other areas. The program's core requirements respond directly to calls by American corporate leaders for graduates who understand both technology and human behavior. To that end, students choose from courses in the humanities, geography, international studies, philosophy and ethics, and psychology. The core prepares students to connect their three minor fields of study meaningfully and usefully. In the capstone experience, the student chooses a directed study or a co-op in industry. By combining three minors, students design their own degree programs. Such combinations as security or air traffic control/psychology/safety or space studies/computer science/psychology offer combinations of fields that the aerospace industry should find useful. Minors in secondary education, humanities, and mathematics can lead to employment within the industry.
