Abstract	The industral hygiene (IH) program at the University of North Alabama (UNA) was created in the mid-seventies in response to the passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. It is one of the first undergraduate programs ofIH established in the nation and the only one of this type in the State of Alabama. The program offers the degree of a Bachelor of Science (or Bachelor of Arts) with a major in IH. The IH currculum is designed to prepare professionals for the comprehensive practice of IH. It is broad in scope and includes complementary education in the allied sciences of safety and environmental health. It also contains a very important component of chemistry courses, and offers, without the need of any extra coursework, the option of a double major in industral hygiene and general chemistr. The NIOSH Training Project Grant (TPG) awarded to the UNA IH program three years ago has brought positive developments and desirable results. By supporting academic scholarships and fuding students' extramural activities , it has helped us in our recruitment effort. Enrollment of the IH program has increased by 65.6% in the last three years.
