Dedicated to
improving the
lives, health,
and environment
of individuals,
families, and
communities.
T
he College of Health and
Human Sciences advances
knowledge, policies, and
practices to enhance the lives,
health, and environments of individuals,
families, and communities in Oregon and
beyond. We achieve this mission through
exemplary undergraduate and graduate
education, creative scholarship, and
effective Extension programs and outreach
initiatives.
We offer the Pacific Northwest’s most
comprehensive array of undergraduate and
graduate professional education in four
areas:
• Design and Human Environment
• Human Development and Family
Sciences
• Nutrition and Exercise Sciences
• Public Health
Our graduates are employed in a wide
variety of research, education, service,
management, and leadership positions in
business, government, industry, education,
and agencies related to health, nutrition,
housing, apparel and interior design,
education, community development, and
family relationships.
The college’s scholarly and creative work
improves the lives of individuals, families,
and communities. Reflecting the strength
and diversity of our faculty and disciplines,
this work ranges from laboratory-based
investigations of nutrition and physiology, to artistic and other creative works in
dance and design.
Our outreach initiatives and programs
serve individuals, families, professionals, and communities across the campus,
Oregon, the nation, and the world. This
outreach program includes the Extension Family and Community Development (EFCD) program, active continuing
education initiatives ranging from credit
and noncredit courses to full degrees, and
service programs that serve OSU students,
faculty, and staff, as well as individuals and
families across Oregon and the nation.
DEGREE PROGRAMS
Advanced degrees include the Master of
Public Health (MPH), the Master of Science
(MS), Master of Arts (MA), and Doctor of
Philosophy (PhD). The MS and PhD degree
is offered in all departments of the college
and the MA in the Department of Design
and Human Environment. All departments
also participate in the Master of Arts Interdisciplinary Studies (MAIS) graduate degree
program.
TEACHER EDUCATION
Health and Human Sciences students who
plan to pursue careers as public school
teachers in elementary education or family
and consumer science or health can pursue
teacher licensure through the OSU College
of Education or through other institutions. Students pursuing teacher licensure
in physical education should apply to the
OSU graduate program in exercise and
sport science.
ADVISING
The Office of Academic Advising is a
primary source of information for all
College of Health and Human Sciences
undergraduate students. Students receive
accurate, thorough, and timely information regarding their degree requirements,
academic progress, job opportunities,
and campus activities. Professional advisors oversee the undergraduate students
within the college. Faculty members also
serve a vital role to undergraduates by
providing professional and career advice.
Faculty members often involve students
in research and professional activities
that create opportunities for leadership,
personal growth, and discovery.
INTERNSHIPS AND PRACTICUMS
To help prepare College of Health and
Human Sciences graduates for careers,
all students participate in an intensive
internship and/or practicum program
as part of their academic course work.
These opportunities provide students with
invaluable work experience in their field
of study and often lead to postgraduate
employment. Faculty members help place
students in the workforce and work with
on-site mentors to create a meaningful
internship experience.
INTERNATIONAL DEGREE
Undergraduates with majors in the College of Health and Human Sciences also
may earn a second degree in International Studies. See the International Programs section of this catalog for more

Gerontology
The Program on Gerontology offers an
interdisciplinary approach to the study
of aging. Because aging involves physiological, sociological and psychological
processes, gerontology education and
research is relevant to many disciplines.
Career opportunities in gerontology are
extremely diverse and include positions
in community services, health sciences,
nutrition and dietetics, housing, health
and physical education, pharmacy,
counseling, health care administration,
business, public policy, and many other
arenas.
Recognizing the diversity of relevant
disciplines and career opportunities,
the OSU Program on Gerontology offers
course work in gerontology through 11
departments. The program is administered through the Department of Human
Development and Family Sciences.
To be considered a gerontology course,
at least 50 percent of the course content
must address gerontology-related issues.

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, 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 Commission for Accreditation for
Dietetics Education of 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
324
Oregon State University
for placement into accredited dietetic
internships and for passing the RD exam
the first time.
FITNESS AND NUTRITION
This option has a strong focus in exercise
physiology, exercise programming, and
nutrition. Graduates of the Fitness and
Nutrition 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 Programs 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 or withdrawing from the
course and follow university policies as
listed in the OSU General Catalog. 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

of Certification (NATABOC) 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.

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 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
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 foodborne pathogens), international aspects
of environmental disease and injury
control, environmental justice, 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, ergonomics,
fire, and emergency disaster management and technical tools for recognizing,
evaluating and controlling exposures to
hazards.
The numbers and variety of professional employment opportunities in
environmental health and occupational
safety continue to expand and include
positions in industry, government,
manufacturing, consulting firms and
higher education.
Further information about the MS in
Environmental Health and Occupational
Safety Management is available in the
department’s MS handbook.
The MS in Environmental Health
and Occupational Safety Management
is a 49-credit program. This includes a
28-credit core in environmental health
and occupational safety (including
6 credits for a thesis or project), and
15 credits in a minor.
HEALTH PROMOTION AND
HEALTH BEHAVIOR (MS)
Graduate Area of Concentration
Health promotion and health behavior
The MS in Health Promotion and Health
Behavior has the goal of educating
students in the foundational areas of
public health education. Students work
closely with their faculty advisor to

are currently three areas of concentration
offered for the PhD degree:
College of Health and Human Sciences
1. Environment, safety and health;
2. Health management and policy; and
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.
