NOTE: University Regulations, Part 2, Sec IV, subpart B, section 2 require that all students must complete 32 hours of 300 level or higher courses at Purdue for graduation. Responsibility for completing graduation requirements is solely that of the student.

NOTE: A grade of 'C' or higher must be earned in HSIC 345, 346, 348, 446 and 580 for graduation with the OCCH major.

NOTE: HSCI 445 is strongly recommended but is not required; HSCI 445 can be taken as an elective if the student has had a previous acceptable industrial hygeine work experience.

NOTE: HSCI 346 and 348 should be taken together. If there is a conflict, 346 is preferred before 348.
