The Environmental and Occupational Health focuses on graduate training in the areas of Environmental Health/Toxicology and Occupational Health to prepare professional and researchers to discover and analyze the links between human health and exposure to the environmental and occupational factors.

Our intent is risk reduction and improvements in public health, as well as the prevention and control of emerging environmental health problems such as exposure to toxic agents, hazardous waste, and various forms of radiation and infectious hazards in the workplace or community environment. The graduate training program in the Environmental and Occupational Health is both interdisciplinary and interdepartmental.

Students seeking advanced training may pursue degrees residing in one of two divisions within the program: 1. Occupational Health and 2. Environmental Toxicology/Environmental Health. The department offers a certificate program, a Master's degree, and a PhD program in Environmental and Occupational Health.  For further information, please contact Department of Environmental and Occupational Health.
