The environmental sciences program is designed to provide students with an understanding of the application of the biological, chemical, and physical sciences to problems in the environment. The core emphasizes the chemical, physical, and biological principles, and options and electives allow specialization in the study of air, water, or soils, as well as pollution and treatment sciences, and environmental health.
With the consultation of a faculty adviser, students can design a program to meet the requirements for graduate study or to provide the basis for a professional career in government, education, consulting, or industry.
Students can meet the requirements for the New Jersey Licensing Examination for Registered Environmental Health Specialists (Sanitarians) by including the following courses in their program:
11:375:301 Environment and Health (3)
11:375:406 Public Health Practice and Administration (3)
11:375:409 Environmental Statement and Impact (3)
11:375:455,456 Internship in Environmental Health (2,2)
Recommended
11:375:421 Air Pollution (3)
11:375:430 Hazardous Wastes (3)
11:375:434 Principles of Industrial Hygiene (3) [meets requirement for 40-hour OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response certification]
Environmental science majors may also complete a joint degree leading to a B.S. in environmental science and a master's degree in public health (M.P.H.). To apply for admission to the master's program, students must have junior status in the environmental science program (64 credits) and a minimum grade-point average of 3.0. Fifteen of the 45 credits required for the M.P.H. may be applied to the 128 credits required for the B.S. in environmental science. Students interested in this opportunity should discuss specific course requirements with their adviser or the chair of the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health at the University of Medicine and Dentistry.
