Minor in Environmental Health Science


Program Description

a) A minor must contain at least 9 hours of upper division course work. b) Courses taken to satisfy Core Areas I through V may not be counted as course work in the minor. c) Courses taken in Core Area VI may be counted as course work in the minor.

Students in the Environmental Health Science minor study how biological, chemical, and physical agents - either those occurring naturally or introduced into the environment - affect human health and the environment. Coursework in the field can provide a strong foundation for students seeking advanced degrees and careers not only in environmental health science, but industrial hygiene, toxicology, public health, epidemiology, ecology, and environmental engineering.
