The Bachelor of Science in Public Health with an Environmental Health Concentration equips students for careers in environmental safety, sanitation, and hygiene. Professionals in this field focus on identifying and addressing 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 essential. Graduates of this program will meet the requirements 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, statewide, and nationwide in the coming decades.
