The Master of Occupational Health and Safety (MOHS) is an interdisciplinary program providing advanced-level study of multiple aspects of occupational health and safety. The program is the first in the Atlantic region and the fourth in Canada and it is built on the expertise that has been developing at Memorial University over the past decade. The program is a response to clear demand from both within the province and throughout Canada.
The MOHS program is designed to provide students, safety officers, loss prevention specialists and human relations managers with the analytic frameworks and up-to-date knowledge that can serve as a basis for future advanced academic study or for higher level professional careers in regulatory agencies, industry, government and stakeholder organizations.
To complete the program a student must complete 24 credit-hours of coursework, including the completion of a capstone research paper in OHS 6001. Students are to take 9 credit-hours from the list of Required Courses, 9 credit-hours from the list of Elective A Courses and 6 credit-hours from the list of Elective B Courses. Elective A courses may be substituted for any Elective B courses.
Advanced standing will be granted to students who have completed the post diploma Safety Engineering Technology Program at the College of the North Atlantic (CNA). Students from this program or from any other approved equivalent program elsewhere will need to take 2 fewer courses (6 credit hours) from the Elective B list than other students.
