About the Program
An Environmental Health degree prepares professionals to understand the biological, physical, and chemical agents present in environments; how they affect community health; and how to control exposure. Our MPH-ENH students will complete a 46-credit hour curriculum that includes core public health courses in epidemiology and health policy and management as well as concentration courses in envrionmental toxicology and risk assessment. The program also includes a public health internship and a capstone research project. Opportunities to specialize in industrial and occupational hygiene and health physics within the ENH concentration are expected to become available in 2014.
