Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Emphasis

If you care about our health and the environment, the EOHS emphasis is a great choice for you! Environmental and Occupational Health is the branch of public health that protects us from harmful exposures in the natural, built, and work environments. Environmental health professionals work to prevent health risks connected to events such as wildfires, extreme heat, natural disasters, and the growing water crisis. They also work to promote safe, high quality jobs and employee wellness by improving working conditions for all.

With the dramatic changes occurring in our environment and in the way we work, the field of Environmental and Occupational Health has never been more relevant. We need passionate, bright minds to work on these urgent public health problems and above all, to prevent new ones.
