Interested in protecting communities, improving workplace health, and advancing environmental health research? Join us for a virtual information session to discover how our graduate degree and certificate programs can prepare you for impactful careers in environmental and occupational health.
Learn about the MPH and MS in Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, as well as advanced certificates in Environmental and Occupational Epidemiology, Environmental Risk Assessment, and Industrial Hygiene.
The MPH in Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences program prepares students to recognize, analyze and control environmental and occupational threats to health in a scientific framework. Students learn to assess and measure exposures to environmental and occupational hazards, examine the relationships between exposures and health outcomes in built, natural, and social contexts and develop control strategies to remediate these exposures.
The MS in Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences program prepares students for careers in the growing field of Industrial Hygiene. Students gain the scientific framework and technical skills to assess and measure exposures to environmental and occupational hazards and to develop control strategies to remediate these exposures, with the ultimate aim of ensuring that workplaces in every field, from offices to schools to factories, are safe and healthy environments.
The Advanced Certificate in Environmental Risk Assessment will provide students with advanced knowledge and practical skills in assessing exposure hazards and evaluating disease risks associated with environmental and occupational chemical agents. Grounded in the risk assessment framework developed by the National Academic of Sciences and widely used by state and federal agencies, this program provides a strong foundation for careers in environmental health, regulatory science, and public health protection.
The Advanced Certificate in Industrial Hygiene is designed to provide working professionals with the skills required to anticipate, recognize, evaluate and control occupational hazards. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for the Board for Global EHS Credentialing (BGC) Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) exam. Coursework completed in this program will meet BGC’s eligibility requirement for academic content hours.
