Overview
Students in our program learn how vulnerable populations are affected by environmental exposures and how we can achieve sustainable communities that provide clean air, clean water, safe food, safe cities, a stable climate and safe workplaces. The curriculum prepares students to assess the health impacts of physical, chemical and biological agents in the environment and to advance means for their measurement and control.
Our program provides interdisciplinary training in epidemiology, biostatistics, mechanisms of toxicity, risk assessment, exposure science and policy analysis. Students learn to apply these skills to environmental health challenges in the San Francisco Bay Area, across the United States and around the world.
