Environmental Health Sciences
Environmental factors are estimated to be responsible for 25 to 40 percent of the burden of human ill-health around the world and often seriously affect the most vulnerable members of society, such as young children, pregnant women, and the poor. The Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) curriculum prepares students to assess the health impacts of physical, chemical, and biological agents in the environment and workplace and to explore means for their measurement and control. EHS integrates several disciplines with emphasis in assessment of exposures to environmental contaminants, toxicology, environmental and occupational epidemiology, risk assessment, and policy analysis. Students learn to apply tools in these disciplines to problems in the United Statesand other parts of the world.
