Investigate how environmental pollutants impact local ecosystems and discover innovative approaches to reduce the ecological consequences of industrial operations. Toxicology examines how chemicals affect living organisms, with environmental science emphasizing the spread, impact, and destiny of these substances in nature. The Toxicology specialization enables Ph.D. students to deepen their knowledge of human-generated waste and hazardous chemicals while developing research to reduce damage and foster healthy ecosystems.
This environmental science initiative represents a cross-disciplinary partnership between UNT's Department of Biological Sciences, Department of Geography, Department of Chemistry, Department of Philosophy and Religion Studies, and other units, addressing significant environmental challenges from multiple academic viewpoints.
Graduate studies in environmental science are available, culminating in a PhD awarded by the Department of Biological Sciences. The curriculum, featuring required and optional courses, caters to students seeking a comprehensive understanding of human-environment relationships.

Qualification Requirements
Undergraduate GPA greater than or equal to 3.0 overall and greater than or equal to 3.2 in the last 60 hours.

Complete application.
A letter of intent to the department, including the specific program, faculty member contacts as prospective professor/advisor, professional goals and objectives, the reason(s) for choosing UNT, the Department of Biological Sciences, and the specific area of interest (Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, or Environmental Science).
Three letters of recommendation to the department from former professors if the applicant is a recent graduate. One letter may be from an employer if the applicant has been employed for more than one year since graduation.
Submission of GRE scores (verbal, quantitative, and analytical writing sections) is currently recommended. The program views GRE scores as indicators of potential success, low GRE scores do not exclude candidates who demonstrate positive indicators in other areas.

Bachelor's degree with 24 hours in a life science or appropriate related science, 12 of which are advanced, a master's degree in a life science with a research-based thesis is desirable for programs in Biology or Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
