Environmental Health Sciences (EnHS) is an academic division of the School of Public Health. The primary mission of the division is to provide excellence in the education of environmental and occupational health professionals, in the conduct of research, and in service to the people and the State of Minnesota.
These aims are achieved through:
- masters' and doctoral education programs,
- research and scholarly activities,
- professional practice and service,
- continuing education, and
- outreach programs that include collaborative efforts with faculty in colleges throughout the university, and through collaboration with health care organizations, industry and government agencies
EnHS graduate educational programs are organized into three core areas that reflect the inter- and multi-disciplinary scientific fields of environmental health as an essential component of the wider field of public health. These cores are:
- Health effects (toxicological and epidemiological methods for evaluations of environmental health effects) which includes environmental and occupational epidemiology, occupational health nursing, and environmental toxicology;
- Environmental exposures (addresses the nature, effects, and regulation of exposure to biological, physical, and chemical hazards in the environment); and includes industrial hygiene, environmental infectious diseases, and environmental chemistry; and
- Environmental health policy (a scientific basis for environmental and occupational health policy), which incorporates the environmental health policy specialty.
