“In the Environmental and Occupational Health Concentration you can choose from two MPH programs, Environmental Health Science and Policy (EHSP) and Global Environmental Health (GEH). Both provide a solid grounding in the relevant science, develop analytic skills to compare options and identify solutions and clearly show the link between science and policy in public health. EHSP is primarily concerned with the developed world, with GEH the developing world is the target. In EOH, our goal is helping to deliver a sustainable future for all.”
George Gray, PhD
Professor
EHSP…
