Prospective Students

The environmental health sciences examine the causes and effects of the interactions between humans and their environment.  The faculty of the Department of Environmental Health Sciences has expertise in a broad range of disciplines necessary for the solution of problems in the environmental health sciences.  The educational backgrounds and professional experiences of the faculty include air pollution, analytical chemistry, aquatic and mammalian toxicology, aquatic ecology, biochemistry, chemical engineering, risk assessment, exposure analysis, environmental engineering, environmental law, environmental physiology, environmental planning, hazardous materials management, impact assessment, industrial hygiene, occupational medicine, noise pollution and hearing conservation, occupational health, terrestrial and landscape ecology, water and waste ware treatment, and resource management.

Many faculty members have extensive practical experience and most serve as consultants in environmental or occupational health.  Many of our adjunct professors are employed in local industry or government.  The faculty's high level of professional activity is evidenced by numerous technical publications in professional journals, by presentations at technical meetings, and by service on local and national boards and committees.

The USC Arnold School of Public Health ENHS program offers four degrees, a non-thesis Masters' degree (MPH), two thesis masters' degrees (MSPH and MS) and the Ph.D.
