Overview

Environmental And Occupational Health from University of Pittsburghprovides an understanding of how relevant environmental exposures, laboratory based model systems, and gene-environment responses can be interpreted and applied to the study of disease etiology in exposed and potentially exposed human populations. The MS degree may be awarded as a terminal degree to students who do not enter the PhD program.

Quick Facts:

The emphasis of the MS in environmental and occupational health is directed towards the theoretical underpinnings of environmental health sciences and toxicology with more limited involvement in laboratory-based research.

Graduates will be able to:

Discuss mechanisms for the direct and indirect human, ecological and safety effects of major environmental and occupational hazards
Describe the principles of pathogenic interactions of environmental toxicants at the molecular and physiologic levels of disease promotion
Discuss effective methodologies to evaluate environmental and human exposures to major environmental and occupational hazards
Critically evaluate environmental and occupational health sciences literature
Conduct a comprehensive literature review for a topic appropriate to environmental and occupational health sciences
