Master of Public Health in Environmental Health: Fees & Entry Requirements at University of Alabama Birmingham - INTO USA, USA

Master of Public Health in Environmental Health

USA

What will I learn?

Environmental health professionals must be able to recognize, evaluate, and control environmental and occupational risk factors that may lead to poor health and disease. The Master of Public Health (MPH) with a concentration in Environmental Health is intended to study the links between environmental and occupational stressors and human health from exposure and toxicant action to science-based risk assessment and policy development. We train students to recognize and assess environmental and occupational exposures, determine the toxicity risk to the humans, and design and properly communicate strategies to reduce risk and help set appropriate policy. Students should also be able to develop strategies and management policies for the prevention of occupational injury and disease. The mandatory internship is intended to introduce the students to real-life experience in environmental and occupational health and to give them tools necessary for problems solving in the field.
