Are you looking to start or advance your career in occupational safety or health and safety? Waldorf offers you choices through our occupational safety and health and safety degree programs (AA, BA, BAS, BS) and an Occupational Safety and Health Certificate. All programs are offered online.

Associate of Arts in Occupational Safety (AA)

Waldorf’s AA in Occupational Safety and Health program provides you with foundational knowledge and initial exposure to the occupational safety and health field. You will explore a variety of areas, including industrial hygiene, occupational safety, environmental safety, and health safety. Our AA degree program is designed for students seeking entry-level safety professional positions, as well as positions in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and fire science.

If you may wish to pursue a bachelor’s level health and safety degree in the future, our AA degree program is designed to prepare you for entry into Waldorf’s bachelor’s degree programs with upper-division standing. The program coursework also satisfies the requirements for the Occupational Safety and Health concentration in Waldorf’s BS program in Organizational Leadership.

 

Bachelor of Arts in Occupational Safety (BA)

Our Bachelor of Arts in Occupational Safety is ideal for those with no prior safety experience. The program is also well-suited for those with occupational safety experience who desire to become a formally degreed safety professional.

Waldorf’s Bachelor of Arts in Occupational Safety is approved as a Graduate Safety Practitioner (GSP) Qualified Academic Program (QAP) by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals. This offers you the opportunity to apply for the GSP designation or Certified Safety Professional designation following graduation.

 

Bachelor of Applied Science in Occupational Safety (BAS)

If you have a significant amount of completed post-secondary coursework or specialized training that you would like to transfer, you may want to consider our Bachelor of Applied Science in Occupational Safety program. Like the BA program, our BAS program is approved as a GSP and QAP by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals and is eligible for GSP or Certified Safety Professional designations.

 

Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership (BS) with Occupational Safety and Health Concentration

If you are interested in a leadership or executive position in an organization, this health and safety degree may be ideal for you. Waldorf’s Bachelor of Science degree in Organizational Leadership with a concentration in Occupational Safety and Health combines a unique blend of leadership strategy and occupational safety and health education. If you have a significant amount of completed post-secondary coursework or specialized training that you would like to transfer, you may want to consider our BAS in Organizational Leadership with an Occupational Safety and Health concentration.

 

Occupational Safety and Health Certificate

This certificate is designed for students seeking entry-level exposure to the occupational safety and health field, as well as professionals in industries such as manufacturing, construction, and fire science who wish to bolster their risk management background.

Some students pursue the certificate as a stepping stone toward Waldorf’s online associate or bachelor’s degree programs. The Board of Certified Safety Professionals recognizes Waldorf’s certificate in Occupational Safety and Health for obtaining the Associate Safety Professional designation and the Certified Safety Professional designation for those holding an associate or higher degree in occupational safety and health.
