RATIONALE FOR A

MINOR IN OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH SCIENCE 

When the Department approved an honors program and an Extended 

Studies Diploma program in Occupational Health Science, the possibility 

of offering a Minor in Occupational Health Science was discussed. 

It became obvious that without any additional stress on the facilities 

and resources, eligible students from all faculties of the University 

may be able to obtain a Minor. 

Because of the specialized nature of the new courses in Occ- 

upational Health Science, specific upper divisiOn courses were 

reviewed and recommended. It was also decided, that BISC 311-3 

(Introduction to Environmental Toxicology) shpuld also bea 

required course for a Minor in OHS. On that 

basis

the basic 

requirement. for a Minor in Occupational Heai1th'Science was approved 

as follows: 

Kin. 100-3  

Introduction to 

Human Structure and Function 

Kin. 

142-3  

introduction 

to

Kinesiology 

Bisc. 

311-3

Factorsth WOrking Environment 

OHS. 

481-3  

Principles of 

Industrial 

Hygiene 

Out of the total 24 credit hours required, 21 are specified. 

The other 3 credits can be from any course within the Kinésiology 

Department.
