Overview
The MSPH degree in Environmental and Occupational Health is a two-year ABET accredited program designed to prepare students to solve environmental and occupational health problems in an ever-changing environment. Upon completion of the program, students will be able to demonstrate in-depth knowledge and understanding of the science and practice of Environmental and Occupational Health. To this end, graduates will be prepared to anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control exposures of individuals, workers, and communities to physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, psychosocial factors, and other stressors that can potentially cause related diseases or dysfunctions.
The EOH curriculum includes courses in environmental health, industrial hygiene, environmental chemistry, analytical instrumentation, risk assessment, and toxicology. This degree program is administered by the faculty of the PMB Division of Occupational and Environmental Health Sciences (OEHS), and is guided by a Joint Steering Committee whose membership includes senior leaders from Air Force, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Public Health Service, Indian Health Service and Canadian military branches and stakeholders from a variety of Public Health organizations. Coursework will prepare students for the opportunity to attain professional credentials.
