On October 30, MIOSHA and Grand Valley State University (GVSU) signed an alliance agreement to expand educational opportunities for safety professionals. Through this partnership, individuals with a MIOSHA Training Institute (MTI) Level 2 Safety and Health Management Systems (SHMS) certificate can now earn college credits toward a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Occupational Safety and Health Management (OSHM) at GVSU.
MTI certificate holders admitted to the OSHM program will receive 12 Occupational Safety and Health Management (OSHM) credits through a competency-based examination, which will count toward their degree requirements. This process ensures that prior knowledge and experience are recognized and rewarded, accelerating the path to graduation.
