Greetings from New Orleans!

The Center for Applied Environmental Public Health (CAEPH) at Tulane
University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine is pleased
to announce that applications for the Fall 2003 cohorts of our three
on-line Masters programs in Public Health are now being accepted.
Details for the programs are as follows:

The MSPH in Industrial Hygiene program provides the education and
practical training of degreed scientists and engineers as
professional industrial hygienists, including preparation for the
certification examination administered by the American Board of
Industrial Hygiene. Study is focused on the anticipation,
recognition, evaluation and control of chemical, biological, and
physical health stressors in the workplace and indoor environments.

The MPH in Occupational Health for health professionals is a program
designed for physicians, nurses, physician-assistants and other
health professionals who work in occupational health settings or
clinics. It provides the academic year required for board
certification in preventive medicine/occupational medicine. The
curriculum is designed to provide topics required for the preventive
medicine boards and the occupational medicine specialty, including
biostatistics, epidemiology, health services management and
administration, environmental health, toxicology, and occupational
health.

The MPH in Occupational Health and Safety Management program is
designed for mid-career occupational health and safety or industrial
hygiene professionals, who seek to expand management options. The
curriculum provides study in four areas: health and safety
principles and issues; data analysis for management decision making;
behavioral aspects of the workplace; and management.


These are all part-time, interactive programs, designed for mid-
career professionals to finish in 2-3 years. Courses are normally
scheduled in the evening (usually once a week/course) for 2-3 hours
with breaks for questions and discussion. A delayed website replay
may also be accessed. They are the only truly synchronous (real-
time, live interaction) programs of their kind. Students attend
real time class by logging onto CAEPH's website and listening to
live audio with accompanying visuals such as powerpoint slides, a
white board or other shared applications such as spreadsheets.
Courses, classes and class materials are all accessible through web
sites at CAEPH. All the software, additional hardware and technical
support necessary to participate is provided before students begin
the program. A sense of community and collaboration is facilitated
with live class once a week, group assignments and small group
sessions, networking, on-line chat rooms, bulletin boards,
conference calls and email.

Tuition is $610/credit hour, plus additional fees for books, course
materials and technical support. Applications for the programs are
being accepted now, and those received by the end of May will have
priority. Space is limited, and interested applicants are encouraged
to apply early. For more information, visit our website at
