Philosophy degrees. Graduate programs
take a multidisciplinary approach,
preparing students for college and
university teaching and research, as well
as development, administration, and
evaluation of programs serving individuals and families across the lifespan.
Graduate programs are offered in
four areas. Human development offers a
life-span perspective from which
students may specialize in prenatal and
early childhood development, middle
childhood and adolescence, or adult
development and aging. Family studies
presents basic knowledge about families
with specific focus in relationship
development, family stress and crisis,
family policy, family structure, and
309
intergenerational family relationships.
Early childhood education integrates
child development theory with educational programming to facilitate the
development of young children.
Gerontology, the study of aging, is
offered as a minor area.
Research is a very important focus of
the graduate program in human
development and family studies. The
HDFS faculty includes nationally
recognized scholars who are widely
published in areas such as families and
aging; families and stress; family
communication and conflict; child,
adolescent, and adult development;
intergenerational family relationships;

Nutrition and physical activity make
essential and complementary contributions to optimal health, disease prevention, and human performance. These
two academic disciplines have been
brought together in the department of
Nutrition and Exercise Sciences.
Nationally recognized programs in the
department prepare students for careers
as athletic trainers, dietitians, medical
and health science professionals,
College of Health and Human Sciences
teachers in physical education, nutritionists, researchers, personal trainers,
and fitness and nutrition professionals.
Students may choose from the following undergraduate degree programs, all
of which support advancement to
graduate school.
ATHLETIC TRAINING
This option provides the academic and
practical experience necessary to prepare
for certification as an athletic trainer to
aid in the prevention, treatment, and
rehabilitation of athletic injuries. The
Athletic Training program is accredited
by the Commission on Accreditation of
Athletic Training Education (CAATE).
Graduates work as athletic trainers for
professional, college and high school
athletic teams, in clinics or hospitals, or
enter graduate programs for the allied
health professions.
DIETETICS
Dietitians provide guidance to the
public regarding nutrition and diet. The
Dietetics degree option at OSU is
accredited by the American Dietetic
Association and prepares students to
become Registered Dietitians (RD). This
option provides the course work and
preparation to enter a supervised
dietetic internship, pass the Registered
Dietitian exam, and become a leader in
the profession. Graduates from OSU's
program consistently exceed the
national average for placement into
accredited dietetic internships and for
passing the RD exam the first time.
EXERCISE SCIENCE
This option has a strong focus in
exercise physiology and exercise
programming. Graduates of the Exercise
Science option provide leadership for
organizing, directing, and managing
physical fitness programs in business
and industrial settings, health clubs, and
hospital-based fitness/wellness cardiac
rehabilitation programs. This program is
excellent preparation for graduate
school.
NUTRITION SCIENCE
The Nutrition Science degree option is
designed for students who want to
focus in the sciences and the scientific
basis for nutrition. Students may pursue
careers in medicine, academia and/or
health-related research. Professionals
trained in nutrition science have many
career options due to population
growth and aging, the focus on
prevention of chronic diseases, and a
growing emphasis on health, nutrition,
and wellness.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
TEACHER EDUCATION
Students seeking careers in teaching
physical education would select this
option. If you want to teach in an
elementary and/or secondary school
setting, this program provides the
academic major and prerequisites needed
for application into the fifth-year,
master’s-level teacher education program
that leads to teaching licensure.
PRE-THERAPY
AND ALLIED HEALTH
Students who choose this option
prepare for admission into medical
school or a professional training
program in the allied health professions.
Graduates become physical therapists,
occupational therapists, physicians,
physician assistants, or nurses.
RESTAURANT AND FOOD
SERVICE MANAGEMENT
The Restaurant and Food Service
Management degree option prepares
graduates for professional management
positions in the vast area of food
service. As one of the largest and fastest
growing industries in the nation, food
service management offers opportunities
in restaurant management, catering,
schools and universities, and business
and industry.
APPLIED EXERCISE
AND SPORT SCIENCE
This option allows students to individualize their program of study to prepare
for a variety of professional goals such
as medical school, graduate and
professional programs, adult fitness,
sport business, athletics, youth programs, and leadership of non-school
sports programs for people of all ages.
INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
(BA, HBA)
See International Education for
information on the International
Studies Degree.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY COURSES
The Physical Activity Course (PAC)
Program is an elective, academic-credit
program designed to provide OSU
students with the opportunity to learn
and engage in a wide variety of physical
activities, with the goal of promoting
health and lifelong participation in
physical activity. Students may take any
number of PAC credits, but only 11
credits may be counted toward graduation. Courses may be repeated for credit
and a grade. There is a PAC fee for each
class, and some courses have additional
fees. All fees are listed in the online
Schedule of Classes. Student accounts are
billed upon registration. Refunds of the
PAC fee are automatic upon dropping
313
or withdrawing from the course and
follow university policies as listed in the
Schedule of Classes. Some additional fees
are refunded through the PAC Office
(Langton 123). Social dance classes are
listed with a men's and a women's
section in order help balance the
number of students in the traditional
lead and follow roles within the same
class.
GRADUATE PROGRAMS
Graduate programs within the department lead to MS and PhD degrees in
Exercise and Sport Science or Nutrition
and Food Management. Graduate
programs may have concentrations in
biomechanics, exercise physiology,
movement studies in disability, sport
and exercise psychology, sports medicine, sport pedagogy, bionutrition,
applied nutrition and dietetics, or food
service management.
UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES
Preparation
Entering first-year and undergraduate
transfer students should prepare to enter
the College of Health and Human
Sciences with a strong foundation in the
sciences, balanced with good writing
and critical thinking skills. Students
transferring from other institutions are
best prepared for the college curriculum
if they have taken chemistry or biology
or both.
Admission
Any student who has met the admission
requirements of Oregon State University
may be admitted to a nutrition and
exercise sciences program of study. To
transfer from another OSU college or
school, the student must have the
approval of the head advisor of the
College of Health and Human Sciences.
Retention
Students are expected to make satisfactory
progress toward a degree. Satisfactory
progress includes, but is not limited to:
1. Maintaining a minimum Nutrition
and Exercise Sciences option program
GPA of 2.25.
2. Maintaining a minimum GPA of 2.50
in all EXSS and NFM-prefixed courses.

examination. With NATABOC certification, the graduate is qualified for
employment as a certified athletic
trainer (ATC) in a variety of work
settings. These venues include sports
medicine clinics, hospitals, high schools,
colleges and universities, professional
sports teams, and corporate/industrial
settings.
The Athletic Training option is a
rigorous academic and clinical program
designed to prepare graduates to enter a
variety of employment settings and to
render medical care to a wide spectrum
of individuals engaged in physical
activity. The program of study involves
specialized academic course work and
three years of supervised clinical
experience. The technical standards set
forth by the OSU Athletic Training
option establish the essential qualities
considered necessary for students
admitted to this program to achieve the
knowledge, skills, and competencies of
an entry-level certified athletic trainer, as
well as meet the expectations of the
program’s accrediting agency.
The Athletic Training option employs
a competitive admission process, in that
all students interested in applying for
the Athletic Training option must
complete prerequisite courses and a
directed clinical observation experience
prior to gaining formal admission.
Typically, the admission process occurs
at the end of a student’s freshman year.
A competitive admission process is used
because there are historically more
applicants than can be accommodated
in the clinical settings. Consult with the
athletic training education program
director or a College of Health and
Human Sciences advisor for program
guidelines and application instructions.

focused in the areas of human nutrition
and the nutrients needed to promote
health, the interaction of nutrition and
exercise on health. The research within
the department seeks the discovery of
new knowledge, information, techniques and/or interventions that can
promote the optimal health of individuals and families in Oregon, nationally, and worldwide.
Since these majors build upon the
natural and social sciences, entering
graduate students should have a
background in chemistry, physiology,
nutrition, statistics, biochemistry and/or
foods.
Depending upon their concentration,
graduates are prepared for positions in
college and university teaching; research
and development in industry, the

Health Management and Policy
The Department of Public Health offers
study programs leading to the Bachelor
of Science (BS) and advanced degrees
(MS, MPH, PhD) for professionals
seeking public health careers.
Public health is an exciting and
diverse field for those interested in the
health and well-being of populations
and their environments. A variety of
public health careers in the public and
private sectors offer opportunities to
work locally, regionally, nationally and
internationally to promote health and
prevent disease. Recognizing that
multiple and complex factors affect the
327
public’s health, our faculty and students
examine environmental issues, access to
health care services, health policies, and
social and contextual factors as
determinants of health. We acknowledge that efforts to improve health must
go beyond the treatment of disease and
must address all conditions affecting the
health of populations including human
behavior, social conditions, health care,
institutions, governmental and corporate policies, and environments.

AND OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY
MANAGEMENT (MS)
Graduate Areas of Concentration
Environmental health and
occupational safety management
Environmental Health and Occupational Safety Management is concerned
with the identification and control of
physiological, biological, chemical, and
safety factors that affect human health.
Specifically, the field specializes in
managing components of the environment and workplace that have a
negative impact on human health.
Management approaches include
regulatory, legislative, policy, and
behavioral techniques as well as the
development of local, national, and
global control plans.
The program builds on strong
prerequisite course work in the basic
sciences (chemistry, biology, and
physics), in mathematics, and in the
applied social sciences. Students are
encouraged to enroll in related courses
offered in the department and in other
departments at Oregon State University,
such as Environmental and Molecular
Toxicology, Business, Crop and Soil
Science, Civil Engineering, Biology,
Statistics, and Engineering.
Topics addressed in Environmental
Health core classes include: epidemiology, control of hazardous materials,
identification of environmental factors
that influence the transmission of
chronic and communicable diseases
(such as air and water pollution or
food-borne pathogens), international
aspects of environmental disease and
injury control, environmental justice,

Oregon State University
risk assessment and communication,
regulatory mechanisms, and current
developments in pollution prevention.
Topics addressed in the Occupational
Safety core classes include sustainable
resource development and use, risk and
cost burden analysis, strategy formulation and organizational structures,
safety management information
systems, program implementation and
auditing, product/technology/process
life cycle assessment, incident investigation, legal regulatory requirements,

positions. There are currently three areas
of concentration offered for the PhD
degree:
1. Environment, safety and health;
2. Health management and policy;
3. Health promotion and health
behavior.
A master's degree in a relevant field is
required before admission into the
PhD program.
The PhD program consists of a
minimum of 108 credits, including at
least 36 graduate credits devoted to
preparation of the thesis. Doctoral
students take courses in research and
quantitative methods, theory, ethics,
and their area of emphasis. Each student
and his or her doctoral committee
jointly determine the student's specific
program of doctoral study. This process
allows students to design a course of
study uniquely suited to their particular
needs and career goals. Further information about these requirements is
available in the department's PhD
handbook.

4. International Health Track
All students in the OMPH must take a
common MPH core of five courses in
the following areas:
• Biostatistics
• Environmental health
• Epidemiology
• Health behavior
• Health systems organization
In addition, each OMPH track has
specific course requirements. The OMPH
tracks offered at OSU are summarized
below. The minimum number of credits
varies by track.
OMPH TRACK COMPETENCIES
Further information about the OMPH
program and tracks can be found at the
OMPH website at http://
www.oregonmph.org and in the
Department's OMPH handbook.
ENVIRONMENT, SAFETY
AND HEALTH TRACK
The MPH in Environment Safety and
Health will give students an understanding of how exposures to hazardous
chemical, physical, or biological agents
affect human health, the environment
and organizational resources. The
curriculum prepares students to: (1)
identify and assess the major environment, safety and health hazards that
impact workers and the general
population; (2) communicate (culturally appropriate) strategies for preventing and controlling environmental,
safety and health hazards; (3) contribute
to the field of environment, safety and
health through applied research; (4)
analyze the interrelationship among the
organization, delivery, and financing of
environmental, safety and healthrelated services; (5) apply environmental, safety and health knowledge and
skills in practical ways; and (6) adhere
to established ESH professional ethical
standards and practices.
HEALTH MANAGEMENT
AND POLICY TRACK
Students in the health management and
policy (HMP) track strengthen and build
upon the theoretical foundations
underlying health management and
policy to allow the student the opportunity to enhance their skills and
knowledge in these disciplines. The track
integrates the core concepts of public
health with specific instruction in
management, finance, strategy, policy,
information systems, quality improvement, marketing, law and regulation,
reimbursement, and human resources.
HEALTH PROMOTION TRACK
The health promotion track focuses on
ecological approaches to the promotion
of health and the prevention of disease,
premature death, and disability. The
curriculum prepares students to
recognize the unique needs of diverse
populations and to utilize public health
approaches to deliver culturally
appropriate prevention programs.
Graduates of this track have the
requisite knowledge and skills to plan,
develop, administer, implement, and
evaluate health promotion and health
behavior programs; communicate
health risks using principles of health
behavior; implement appropriate
theory-based practice and research and
mobilize community resources for
planned social change; aid others in
College of Health and Human Sciences
increasing their health enhancing skills;
and develop, analyze, and promote
policies that reduce health risk.
INTERNATIONAL HEALTH TRACK
The goal of the international health
track is to prepare public health
professionals for leadership roles in
international health, with an emphasis
in the health development of populations in low-income nations. This is an
interdisciplinary track that draws
resources from departments throughout
the university. Students coming from
different disciplinary backgrounds may
apply their knowledge in an appropriate area of international health studies,
and select from a number of different
areas of specialization.
