The goal of our graduate program
in the Department of Environmental & Occupational Health at the University
of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC), is to train highly competent
scientists and public health practitioners in Environmental & Occupational
Health. Our approach to education is to train students to acquire up-to-date
knowledge and competency in this area based on sound scientific theory and
methodology. At the same time students are given the unique opportunity to
immediately begin to translate the knowledge acquired in the classroom or
laboratory, into practical applications in the real world setting through
participating in faculty cutting-edge research, internships in industry, State
or national agencies, or site visits to these establishments. The goal of our
program is to make it one of the most attractive interactions between theory and
practice, in which our students are given the opportunity of experiencing one of
the most comprehensive training and educational programs in Environmental &
Occupational Health.
The Department offers a separate
masters degree program in Environmental Health, and Occupational Health, and
these programs take on average two years to complete. Coursework can be taken
towards enhancing career and competency, for professionals already in
Environmental & Occupational Health practice.
