The M.S. degree program introduces candidates to the analysis of problems in environmental health sciences and generates skills in important areas of environmental health sciences. Important among these skills is competence in basic research methodology. Graduates should appreciate the interaction of technical, social, economic, and political determinants of environmental health problems and the way these factors influence the development of changes in environmental quality.

The M.S. degree program provides a sound methodological preparation for working in a research setting or for pursuing an advanced academic degree. M.S. degree students usually spend two years in residence to complete a minimum of 42 credits.
