Mission
To educate highly qualified professional industrial
hygienists and scientists with strength in the discipline of
industrial hygiene, i.e., fundamental principles involved in
anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of factors
arising in the workplace that adversely impact human health
and well-being.
Degrees
Degrees offered: MS, MSPH, MSEE, PhD
While offering four master's degree programs, the program
is focused on doctoral-level training to prepare scientists
for research and teaching careers in occupational health.
The program also supports continuing education for occupational
health professionals. Program completion is generally two-and-a-half
years for master's degrees and four to five years for the
PhD degree. The program encompasses a full range of applications in
industrial hygiene, including sample collection, analysis,
statistical modeling, and interpretation of exposure data
in order to investigate relationships between exposure and
development of disease.
