Demand for Environmental Health scientists is growing as college programs in this field remain scarce and societal environmental health challenges continue to evolve. UGA's Environmental Health Science program holds national accreditation and stands as Georgia's sole undergraduate offering in this discipline. The program blends diverse academic areas including biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and microbiology. Students can explore practical environmental health courses covering air/water/noise pollution, waste management, toxicology, industrial hygiene, food microbiology, epidemiology, and public health legislation. The curriculum offers flexibility, allowing students to focus on specialized tracks like Industrial Hygiene, Environmental Protection, or Public Health through elective coursework.
