MS Environmental Health

A program in Environmental Health focuses on human health arising from living and environmental conditions, whether manmade or natural surroundings. Finding a balance between nature and the needs of mankind often leads to solutions which may then call for environmental protection, or worse, environmental remediation. Humankind generally does the best it can with current technology and accepted design principles. Environmental Health looks at both social and the biogeophysical surroundings people have and works to keep people safe. Students should study both densely and under-populated areas and the nuances of Environmental Health associated with both.
