The Bachelor of Science in Public Health with an Environmental Health focus equips students for careers in environmental safety, sanitation, and hygiene. Professionals in this field investigate and address community health issues like air and water contamination, waste management, food safety concerns, water treatment systems, and disease-carrying pests. They also contribute significantly to emergency preparedness, particularly during natural disasters where safeguarding water and food resources is vital. Graduates will meet the qualifications to sit for the Registered Environmental Health Specialist/Sanitarian certification exam. Job opportunities for environmental health specialists are expected to increase consistently across Northwest Ohio, statewide, and nationwide in the coming decades.
