Environmental Health Science (EHS)

In this Section

Environmental health science studies the relationship between humans and the environment - mainly the environmental factors that adversely affect human health. Our program focuses on recognizing, evaluating, and controlling these chemical, biological and physical factors. Environment must be thought of in the broadest sense, as to include the natural, built, and social environments.
