The Bachelor of Science in Public Health with a focus on Environmental Health 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 in restaurants, 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 of this program will meet the qualifications to sit for the Registered Environmental Health Specialist/Sanitarian certification exam. Job opportunities for environmental health experts are expected to increase consistently across Northwest Ohio, the state, and the nation in the coming decades.
