POST-BACCALAUREATE CERTIFICATE IN MINING OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH
Description: Graduates of the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Mining Occupational Safety and Health will be better prepared to achieve certification as mine safety professionals and can advance on to Master of Science, Master of Engineering or Master of Public Health programs.
Curriculum: 15 units of credit beyond the Bachelors of Science in Mining Engineering or a related degree in engineering, science, or health profession.
The Mine Health and Safety certificate option will consist of three required classes:
MNE 576 Mine Ventilation (3 units of lectures, no laboratory)
MNE 526 Mine Health and Safety (1 unit)
CPH 553 Toxicology and Chemical Exposures (3 units)
The elective courses are:
CPH 522 Safety Fundamentals (3 units)
CPH 576A Biostatistics (3 units)
MNE 521 Disease and Illness in Mining (3 units)
MGE 527 Geomechanics (3 units of lectures, no laboratory)
MNE 547 Underground Construction Geomechanics (3 units)
CPH 574 Health Administration and Policy (3 units)
CPH 575 Environmental and Occupational Health (3 units)
CPH 573A Basic Principles of Epidemiology (3 units)
CPH 577 Social and Behavioral Aspects of Public Health (3 units
Pre-requisites Needed for Graduate Admission: The background coursework we look for is 3 semesters of calculus (for some emphasis areas differential equations is required), 1-2 semesters of physics (depending on the emphasis area), statics (for some emphasis areas strength of materials and mechanics of fluids), and a basic understanding of geologic principles. For those entering Mining Engineering from another discipline, we have developed a course to cover these pre-requisites. This 'bridge course' may be a required to be taken in your first semester and will apply for up to 3 units on your plan of study.
