Environmental Health Sciences Major, B.S.P.H.

About this programme

Environmental health lies at the core of public health. It focuses on understanding how people interact with their environments in order to protect human health, promote well‑being, and support safe, healthy communities. The undergraduate major in Environmental Health Sciences equips students with a comprehensive understanding of the environmental factors that influence human health; the physical, chemical, and biological processes through which human activities affect the environment; the methods used to assess these impacts; and the science‑based strategies used to prevent, reduce, or remediate environmental health problems. This interdisciplinary foundation prepares students to analyze complex environmental challenges and contribute to evidence‑based solutions that improve population health.
