Environmental Quality and Health
The Environmental Quality and Health (EQH) Program at the University
of Michigan has a long and distinguished history, and is one of the oldest
programs in the United States. It offers an up-to-date curriculum designed
to equip graduates with the scientific, technological, policy, and management
knowledge and skills needed to address contemporary and emerging issues
in environmental and public health. The program deals holistically with
how exposure and health effects of organic, inorganic, and radioactive pollutants
are related to their sources, behavior, and fate in various environmental
media (air, water, soil and food). The core curriculum provides the unifying
themes on the basic driving forces behind environmental health problems,
human activities that lead to pressures on the environment, and effects
of exposure to degraded environmental conditions to human health. The EH
curriculum then branches out into areas of specialization, including air
pollution, environmental chemistry, environmental health management, hazardous
waste, radiation biology, risk assessment, and water quality.
Teaching in the EQH Program is supported by a large and diversified research
portfolio with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities for basic and
applied work in chemistry, biology, toxicology, air pollution, and hazardous
waste. The program stresses environmental health practice and research
and is one of the most highly regarded training programs in the country.
Our graduates are employed in government, industry, consulting, and the
non-profit sectors, both domestically and worldwide.
A dual MS degree in Environmental Health and Industrial Hygiene is
available through the Hazardous Substances Academic
Training Program. This unique program includes the EH academic core
program as well as the Industrial
Hygiene Program . Designed for students whose career interests include
both environmental and occupational health, graduates have a particularly
wide range a skills and capabilities and many professional opportunities.
The EH program offers training in two formats: a traditional full?time
residency, and a part-time executive program. Each program is designed
to meet the needs of distinct groups of trainees. The executive degree
is offered through the On
Job/On Campus (OJ/OC) Program designed for working students. Students
obtain an MPH degree in two years with monthly meets on the Ann Arbor
campus.
