Clarkson has one of the few undergraduate programs for environmental health science/industrial hygiene in the country. Our program is distinctive in the way it integrates biology, chemistry, engineering and business courses. It was designed that way in 1984, when it became one of the nation's first EHS programs.
Environmental health scientists apply their knowledge of chemistry, physiology, toxicology, physics and engineering to identify and eliminate workplace and environmental hazards. Companies are expanding their efforts to anticipate, recognize, evaluate and control exposure to chemical, biological, ergonomic and physical agents that harm workers and decrease productivity
Your training at Clarkson will position you to make an immediate impact in helping eliminate health hazards — by changing workplace practices, adding controls, or by recommending special clothing or equipment. Demand is high for these skills in small and large businesses, government agencies, the armed forces, and consulting firms. In addition, EHS provides a strong foundation for admission to medical and veterinary school. It is also excellent preparation for a career in physical therapy.
