Our interdisciplinary program spans across campus, offering students the chance to examine and create solutions for the world's most pressing environmental issues impacting public health globally.
This cross-disciplinary initiative focuses on building both analytical and practical competencies needed to safeguard environments at local, regional, and international scales while promoting sustainable growth. Participants gain expertise in epidemiology, worldwide environmental health, biostatistics, and risk assessment within a global framework. They learn to utilize this knowledge to tackle some of the most complex environmental health issues confronting societies worldwide.
Spanning two years, the program mandates completion of 48 graduate-level credits. The coursework prioritizes advanced comprehension of environmental exposure sources, transmission routes, health consequences, and mitigation strategies—covering pesticides, air pollution, vector-borne illnesses, climate-altering pollutants, waterborne pathogens, and industrial contaminants—across household, occupational, community, regional, and planetary scales. Additionally, students undertake a full-time summer internship and either a capstone or thesis project, showcasing their capacity to integrate core global environmental health principles with real-world environmental health challenges.
