COSS.net has a list of dates for classes in BR at LSU and Alliance Safety Council, and most companies require it now to even be considered for a job.

Step 1: take an 18 month program at BRCC
Step 2: get your TWIC Card
Step 3: pull in 6 figures for doing nothing more than showing up most days.

I've heard that you're required to menstruate in order to have mood swings and a shitty attitude. I don't know if it's a surgery you have to have or some pills or what, but I know it's a requirement.

As mentioned before, Southeastern has a good ABET accredited program, the draw back is theres no distance learning path. They try to accomodate most of the OSHE classes at night or atleast have a section available, but classes outside of the department may not be convenient to a non-traditional students schedule.
Oakland University in Michigan has a 100% distance learning OSHE program that is also ABET accredited.
The reason ABET accredidation is important is for future certifications (above CHST and OHST, specifically the CSP and CIH). Attending an ABET accredited program reduces the amount of time required to take the CSP examination (Certified Safety Professional is one of the pinnacle certifications in the Safety field and with that more money on average).
Other options for non-ABET accredited programs: Eastern Kentucky University and Columbia Southern University.
