Ph.D. Degree Top of page link


The Ph.D. program in Environmental Health & Toxicology is designed to prepare students for scholarly and professional positions and careers in academic institutions, public agencies, and industry. The program emphasizes the application of biological, physical, and medical sciences to the solution of environmental and public-health problems. The objective of doctoral study is to develop each student's ability to conduct original, advanced research as an independent scientist. In keeping with this goal, each student is expected to guide his or her own research project, under the supervision of a faculty member, with a high level of effort and accomplishment, and thereby gain the capacity to be self-teaching and the ability to design and conduct research on important issues in the student's chosen field. The program typically entails four or more years of full-time study and research beyond the baccalaureate.
