The M.P.H. program is recommended for students who wish to work as environmental or occupational health practitioners. The M.P.H. is a two-year program and is often the degree path for students who wish to go on to a Ph.D. program in environmental health sciences.
The M.P.H. degree in environmental health sciences requires four semesters (two semesters for students with prior medical or doctoral training) of academic work, for a minimum of 40 units.
The 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 both the U.S. and other parts of the world.
