The Department of Environmental Health Sciences is an
academic department in the School of Public Health, University
at Albany. The department offers programs leading to M.S.,
M.P.H., Dr.P.H. and Ph.D. degrees, preparing outstanding
students for technical, teaching and research careers
in academia, public health agencies and industry.

Center, a modern, well-equipped comprehensive research
institution which serves as the public health laboratories
of the New York State Department of Health. This relationship
exposes the student to a range of real-world, scientifically
based environmental and public health problems and to
an organization with a tradition of high-quality basic
research. Our faculty has a unique diversity of research
interests and actively encourages cross-disciplinary research
problems.
Masters of Science/Doctorate
The Department of Environmental Health Sciences
offers programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees,
preparing students for teaching and research careers in
academic, public health agencies, and industry. The EHT
Graduate program provides the opportunity to obtain either
a M.S. or a Ph.D. degree. The program leading to the M.S.degree
is designed to be completed in two years. The program

of full-time study.
The department offers three broad areas of specialization:
Environmental Chemistry, Toxicology, and Environmental
and Occupational Health. Graduate programs are individualized
and courses are selected in accordance with both the
track requirements and the background and interests
of the individual student.
Master's of Public Health
The Master of Public Health (MPH) is a professional degree
designed to prepare graduates to tackle real public health
problems, as practitioners who can apply their breadth
of understanding as well as some degree of expertise and
experience in at least one specific area of public health.
The School's interdisciplinary MPH degree program allows
students to apply cutting edge scientific and technical
knowledge to preventing disease and promoting wellness
through organized community efforts. The diversity and
complexity of today's public health concerns require
practitioners who understand the political, ethical,
economic, and scientific concerns involved in addressing
the great challenges to the modern world. The school's
unique focus on linking academic studies with a broad
base of knowledge, skills and experience necessary to
meet today's public health challenges. All students
participate in at least two distinct public health internships.
