Frequently Asked Questions

What are the options to complete the research requirements.

The students will have three options to complete the research requirements:

Web-based: This option will mainly involve web-based experimentation and data collection. The student can develop games and web or mobile applications to conduct research in UX/UI, Human behavior, or Decision making. Additionally, for Artificial Intelligence /Machine Learning/ Simulation/ Management focused research, tools are available to design studies/ experiments and collect the data virtually. This option will also involve non-experimental surveys, interview-based research, retrospective/secondary data analysis, and theory development.
Hybrid experimental: The student will have the option to visit the WVU campus for a limited duration to conduct their experiment in our labs. Safety-related research that mandates controlled experiments will fall under this option.
Industry-led: With this option, the student and their research advisor will identify an existing problem within the student's workplace (industry, national lab, etc.) and will develop a theoretical framework and applied solutions to address the problem. This option will also help the IMSE department build strong industry relationships.

How will you provide programmatic support services to online Ph.D. students?

We will conduct a virtual orientation session at the beginning of every semester. The students will work closely with the program coordinator to develop a preliminary plan of study by the end of the first semester and their Advising and Examining Committee (AEC) by the end of the second semester.

What are the various program completion milestones?

Complete the coursework.
Complete the qualifying exam requirements (typically completed by the end of the second semester or completion of coursework).
Complete the candidacy exam requirements (completed after the qualifying exam, by the end of the second year, or once the research proposal is finalized).
Complete the final exam (typically completed by the end of the third year or after the completion of research requirements)

What is involved in Qualifying Examination?

This examination is designed to assess the basic competency of students in the occupational safety and health field to determine whether or not they have sufficient knowledge to undertake independent research. There are two options available to take the qualifying exam: (1) coursework based; (2) research based.

What is involved in Candidacy Examination?

In order to be admitted to candidacy, the student must pass a candidacy exam, which is designed to evaluate the student’s overall ability to engage in high-level research. A student who has successfully completed all coursework, passed the qualifying examination, and successfully defended the research proposal is defined as one who is a candidate for the Ph.D. degree.

What is involved in Final Examination?

At the completion of the dissertation research, candidates must prepare a dissertation and pass the final oral examination (defense) administered by their AEC. In order to complete the Ph.D. requirements, a student must pass a final oral examination on the results embodied in the dissertation. This examination is open to the public and, in order to evaluate critically the student's competency, may include testing on material in related fields, as deemed necessary by the AEC. In addition, since the Ph.D. degree is primarily a research degree that embodies the results of an original research proposal and represents a significant contribution to scientific literature, the student must submit a manuscript on this research to the AEC.

PhD in Environmental and Occupational Health

Environmental and Occupational Health is the study of how human health and welfare are impacted by the natural and engineered environmental systems in which people live and work. The field has a technical focus, applying fundamental knowledge from chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics, to the assessment, prevention, and control of population risks from chemical, physical and biological agents. However, environmental and occupational health scientists also must recognize and incorporate the fundamental role of social context in the appropriate selection, design and implementation of interventions to improve population health. Some topics of the field include air and water quality, waste handling, foodborne illness, environmental degradation, pest management, ecosystems, urbanization, climate and geochemistry, toxicity and toxins, exposure science, population dynamics and epidemiology, risk assessment, environmental justice, and environmental and occupational law.

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Public Health with a concentration in Environmental and Occupational Health provides students with advanced preparation in the scholarship of the field of environmental and occupational health. Students develop fundamental research skills in the quantitative and qualitative sciences as well as specialized expertise in a specific area of interest. They apply those skills to the in-depth study of a specialized environmental and occupational health research question. Our students typically have Master of Science degrees in public health sciences, the natural sciences, or engineering. Some students also have substantial experience in the environmental or occupational health fields prior to enrollment.

Request Information

Earn a doctorate degree in occupational health and safety, advance both scholarly research and your career

The rapid infusion of new technology, techniques, and materials into every workplace is creating new challenges for occupational health and safety professionals in every work environment. The pressures to identify hazardous conditions and prevent injury or harm to people in the workplace is greater now than at any time in the past. Many employers now view safe workplace practices as a key component of generating and maintaining a strong stream of revenue.

Capitol Technology University’s online PhD program in occupational health and safety is designed to provide industry professionals with an opportunity to conduct the in-depth research and investigation needed to develop solutions to meet a wide variety of industry needs. Through this research-based, online doctorate, you’ll engage quickly in research and publishing without the limitations inherent in traditional coursework models. While completing the program you’ll aid in the creation of new knowledge and ideas and become prepared for a variety of leadership roles in occupational health and safety, or for teaching roles in higher education.

As a doctoral student in occupational health and safety at Capitol Tech, you’ll enter the program with a research idea and a chair will be assigned to develop this into a full research proposal. After enrollment, you’ll work with your chair and research committee to develop further your research proposal. You’ll then work independently to produce a meaningful body of original research of publishable quality. In the process, you’ll also gain valuable insight into the legal, political, ethical, and social dimensions of your field of study.

This is a research based doctorate PhD degree where you will be assigned an academic supervisor almost immediately to guide you through your program and is based on mostly independent study through the entire program. It typically takes a minimum of two years but typically three years to complete if a student works closely with their assigned academic advisor. Under the guidance of your academic supervisor, you will conduct unique research in your chosen field before submitting a Thesis or being published in three academic journals agreed to by the academic supervisor. If by publication route it will require original contribution to knowledge or understanding in the field you are investigating.

As your PhD progresses, you move through a series of progression points and review stages by your academic supervisor. This ensures that you are engaged in a process of research that will lead to the production of a high-quality Thesis and/or publications and that you are on track to complete this in the time available. Following submission of your PhD Thesis or accepted three academic journal articles, you have an oral presentation assessed by an external expert in your field.

PhD in Environmental Health, Occupational Health & Toxicology

Develop abilities to address scientific problems in the fields of environmental health, ecological health, occupational health and safety, and toxicology.

Why Study Environmental Health, Occupational Health & Toxicology?

Environmental exposures, including those associated with work, are the main cause of chronic disease. Such exposures far outweigh the genetic basis of disease. Thus, disease prevention from such components of the exposome is the basis for public health. While the dose makes the poison, identification and assessment of environmental toxicants is and will continue to be of importance to society.

The doctoral program in Environmental Health, Occupational Health & Toxicology is designed to prepare students for careers in academia, government, or industry. It provides students with the knowledge base, field and laboratory skills, and problem-solving abilities to become independent, innovative professionals using state-of-the-art approaches to address scientific problems in the fields of environmental health, occupational health and safety, and toxicology. Our PhD program offers two educational tracks to meet the research interests of our students:

Kahn, is a retired Rear Admiral, U.S. Public Health Service and Dr. Terry Stentz holds the rank of Captain, U.S. Navy (Retired).

Program Snapshot

Program highlights.

The Environmental Health, Occupational Health & Toxicology program at UNMC offers a great faculty-to-student ratio with many experienced educators and researchers.

Our occupational health track is unique in that students are able to earn additional certifications as a result of taking certain courses. For example, students earn their 30-hour OSHA card after taking the Elements of Industrial Safety course; or they are eligible to earn the Certified Occupational Hearing Conservationist credential after taking the Occupational Noise and Hearing Loss course. These value-added credentials are possible because faculty have additional training and a national reputation in the field.

Our faculty are closely affiliated with the federally-funded Central States Center for Agricultural Safety and Health. UNMC is one of 10 centers across the country that protects the health and safety of agricultural workers. Our students have ample opportunity to conduct research and perform outreach activities through the center.

Of the credits submitted to satisfy the requirements for a Ph.D. or Ed.D. degree, a maximum of 30 may be more than eight years old when the degree is conferred, provided the student's committee and program administrator determine that the student has kept current in the subjects concerned. Graduation must occur no later than five years after the date on which the candidate passed their preliminary or general examination. These time limitations can be extended only on recommendation of the committee and approval by the Graduate Council.

Awarding Doctoral Degrees to Members of the Faculty

Regulations are outlined in Section 4920 of the Faculty-Staff Handbook.

Particular Requirements for the Ed.D. Degree

A period of professional practice is required for the Doctor of Education degree; the period involved is determined by the student's supervisory committee. While the Ed.D. is a College of Education degree, you should consult with the departments in the College of Education to learn of specific emphasis requirements.

Procedures for Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of Education Degrees

Appointment of major professor and committee.

Refer to " Appointment of Major Professor and Committee for All Degree Seeking Graduate Students " in the preceding General Graduate Regulations section. In addition, a doctoral supervisory committee consists of at least four people: the major professor as chair and at least one additional UI faculty member from the program, the balance of the committee may be made up of faculty members from a minor or supporting area, and faculty members from a discipline outside the major. If the committee has a co-chair, the minimum number of committee members is five.

Qualifying Examination

The qualifying examination is a program option and serves to assess the background of the student in both the major and supporting fields and to provide partially the basis for preparation of the student's study program. A particular program may or may not require a master's degree as a prerequisite for the qualifying evaluation. As soon as the program's qualifications are met, a supervisory committee is appointed.

Preparation of Study Plan

Refer to " Preparation and Submission of Study Plan " in the preceding General Graduate Regulations section.

Preliminary Examination for Ph.D. Degree

The preliminary examination should be scheduled only after the student has completed the majority of the courses on their study plan. The student is required to be registered during the semester the preliminary examination is taken. The student's committee certifies to the College of Graduate Studies the results of the preliminary examination and if passed, the student is advanced to candidacy. Graduation must occur no later than five years after the date on which the candidate passed their examination. If the preliminary examination is failed, it may be repeated only once; the repeat examination must be taken within a period of not less than three months or more than one year following the first attempt. If a student fails the preliminary examination a second time, or the program does not allow the student to repeat the examination after the first failure or the student does not retake the examination within one year, the student is automatically moved to unclassified enrollment status and is no longer in the degree program.

General Examination for Ed.D . Degree

When the student approaches the end of their course work, has completed the professional experience requirement, and has outlined the dissertation subject in detail, the supervisory committee approves the holding of the general examination. The student is required to be registered during the semester the general examination is taken. The examination is both written and oral and is intended to assess progress toward degree objectives. The student's committee certifies to the College of Graduate Studies the results of the general examination and if passed, the student is advanced to candidacy. Graduation must occur no later than five years after the date on which the candidate passed their examination. If the general examination is failed, it may be repeated only once; the repeat examination must be taken within a period of not less than three months or more than one year following the first attempt. If a student fails the general examination a second time, or the program does not allow the student to repeat the examination after the first failure or the student does not retake the examination within one year, the student is automatically moved to unclassified status and is no longer in the degree program.

See the General Graduate Regulations section regarding application for advanced degree, registration requirements, final defense and dissertation requirements.

Procedures for Doctor of Athletic Training

The culminating clinical project.

Students enrolled in the Doctor of Athletic Training (D.A.T.) will engage in research projects during the curricular phase of the program. These project(s) will lead to at least two publication ready manuscripts, and all students must meet professional authorship requirements (regardless of order). See the Department of Movement Sciences and Doctor of Athletic Training webpages for more information.

The Team (Committee)

All D.A.T. project team committees will have at least four committee members: two members of the athletic training faculty (all with graduate faculty status), the student's attending clinician (who is the student's on-site mentor during the student's residency), and an expert in the student's chosen area of clinical research. The athletic training faculty members will always chair the CCP, provide research guidance, and serve as the experts in the development of advanced practice in Athletic Training. A situation may arise in which one or both of the members of the committee that are outside of the AT program faculty may have a degree less than that of which the student is seeking; however, the intent of the third and fourth D.A.T. committee membership is to provide outside validation of the student's progress toward advanced practice and clinical utility of action research studies.

Culminating Clinical Project Hours

These dissertation hours may be used in instances when the CCP has not been successfully completed and the curricular phase of program has been completed.
