The Department of Health, Safety, and Environmental Health Sciences is one of the five departments in School of Health and Human Performance. The departmental programs focus on the prevention of illness, injury, and accidents in association with the promotion of public, environmental, and occupational health and safety. An ongoing demand exists for competent professionals and specialists in the areas of health and safety education, management service, and research, in both the public and private sectors. The goal of the department, accordingly, is to provide students with the opportunity to establish a solid foundation and background in environmental, health, and safety issues through academic education and training in the classroom and the field. Graduates from the programs will be well prepared for environmental, health, and safety careers in academic, industrial, and governmental settings.
