Master of Science in Environmental Health Sciences

A 21-month, 62-credit thesis-based degree program for students who want training in academic research. Students have the opportunity to work with faculty across multiple disciplines including environmental public health, toxicology, occupational health, climate change and more. This degree requires 23 credits in core coursework, 10 related to your thesis, and 29 additional elective credits.

Applicants to the PhD, MS, MS Applied and MPH degree programs should have a bachelor’s degree or higher. Applicants to the MPH in Occupational and Environmental Medicine must have an MD, DO or PhD degree. Applicants must have at least a 3.0 cumulative grade-point-average on a 4 point scale (or equivalent measures of performance if a graduate of an institution with no grading system; or equivalent grade-point-average from an accredited foreign institution) for those credits earned at the regionally accredited institution awarding the bachelor’s degree OR at least a 3.0 grade-point-average (on a 4 point scale) for the last 90 graded quarter credits or 60 graded semester credits. Applicants with exceptional strengths in other areas with a GPA below 3.0 may still be considered if their overall application is extremely strong.
