Demonstrate that the program has responded to previous recommendations.  \nRecommendation 1: The program should continue to use the industry standards to guide curriculum  \nand should not pursue accreditation until such time that accreditation becomes mandatory.  \nHow do you know the recommendation has been successfully achieved? (2500 characters or less)  \nSince the AY 2019-2020 academic program review, no actions have been planned, programmed, or taken to pursue external accreditation.  \nActions taken to date (2500 characters or less)  \nNo actions have been taken.  \nEvidence of success to date (2500 characters or less)  \nAs noted above, no actions have been planned, programmed, or taken to pursue external accreditation since the AY 2019-2020 academic program review.  \n2. Demonstrate the centrality of the program to the mission, needs, and purposes of the university and the college/community campus. Include how the program is integrating (or planning to integrate) intentionally  \ndesigned opportunities for students to develop the four core competencies (Effective Communication; Creative and Critical Thinking; Intercultural Fluency; and Personal, Professional, & Community Responsibility) . (3000 characters or less)  \nOccupational Safety and Health (OSH) professionals protect people, property and the environment. The OSH program provides comprehensive preparation for individuals to become highly trained and highly paid safety practitioners in Alaska and worldwide. Alaska’s natural resources account for the bulk of its wealth. Industries such as oil & gas, mining/resource extraction, fisheries, and construction are high-hazard/high-risk industries. These risks are exacerbated when coupled with the inherent exposures and hazards encountered when working in our Arctic/polar environment. Alaska employers recognize the devastating consequences of  \nDocusign Envelope ID: 2F20E5E1-9AFE-8AAE-835E-2C1CDFEF61F6  \n10/20/2025  \naccidental losses in the workplace, both in terms of the unsured financial losses and, more importantly, the burdens shouldered by their most important resource, people. Employers also understand the need to mitigate and control workplace exposures, manage safety systems, programs and related activities, and interpret and ensure compliance with an array of regulatory requirements such as the those mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Alaska Occupational Safety and Health (AKOSH) Division, Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, to name a few. Additionally, federal and state construction contracts require safety professionals to have nationally recognized professional certifications, leadership, collaboration, teamwork and change management skills as well as functional computer skills and proficiency. The OSH program includes a strong emphasis on each of the skills and competencies mentioned above. The program also appeals to a diverse set of students, including full-time and part-time students, recent high school graduates, experienced working professionals and veterans. The OSH program continues to meet industry demands to educate and prepare safety professionals to improve safety and ","cbCairLy0nEFLuNg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairLy0nEFLuNg","pdf",313503,"English","# Program Section (Due on March 1)\n## Program Review Committee\n## Demonstrate that the program has responded to previous recommendations\n## Demonstrate the centrality of the program to the mission and needs\n## Demonstrate program quality and improvement through assessment and other indicators","[{\"question\":\"What action was taken regarding external accreditation since the AY2019-2020 review?\",\"answer\":\"No actions have been planned, programmed, or taken to pursue external accreditation since the AY2019-2020 academic program review.\"},{\"question\":\"Which core competencies does the report emphasize integrating for student development?\",\"answer\":\"Effective Communication; Creative and Critical Thinking; Intercultural Fluency; and Personal, Professional, \\u0026 Community Responsibility.\"},{\"question\":\"What knowledge and skills does the OEC Safety Specialist outcome list target?\",\"answer\":\"It targets applying standards and regulations, hazard recognition and control strategies, risk management concepts, communication for a multicultural workforce, and implementing an Injury and Illness Prevention Program, among other inspection and investigation skills.\"}]","Academic Program Review Report Form AY2025-2026 | PDF",1790444061,25]
