The Occupational and Environmental Health (OEH) M.S. degree program is devoted to the recognition, evaluation, and control of workplace or environmental hazards which may cause impaired health or well-being or significant discomfort and inefficiency among workers or the general public. The program emphasizes the study of chemical exposure, noise and vibration, air pollution, biological agents, ergonomic stressors, injury risk factors and other hazards likely to be encountered in work or community environments.
The MPH degree is a forty-two (42) semester credit hour program designed to accommodate the student who wishes to obtain an area of concentration in traditional public health specialties. Available specialty tracks include biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental and occupational health, health behavior/health education, and health policy and management. Each student who declares a specialty area must select an academic advisor from members of the faculty of the department related to that particular area of public health specialization.
