Environmental Health Science Degree Programs
Environmental Health Sciences programs focus on the impact of the environment on public health. Environmental health scientists assess and mitigate the impact of water quality, air pollution, and hazardous materials on health and manage the environmental public health aspects of disasters.
The Department of Environmental Health Sciences offers the degrees:
This program provides training in assessment of environmental health hazards, integrating emerging knowledge and strategies to understand and reduce public health risk. The curriculum and applied learning opportunities draw upon Tulane's extensive research and over five decades of experience in providing leadership training in environmental health.
The MS in Health Security equips students with the practical tools and critical insight to protect population health in times of uncertainty. Whether responding to a disease outbreak, planning for extreme weather-driven health disruptions, or coordinating across agencies during a national emergency, students will gain the interdisciplinary training needed to lead.
Tulane University’s online Master of Science in Occupational and Environmental Health Sciences (MS-OEIH) is an ABET-accredited program that prepares students to identify, analyze, and manage workplace health hazards.
The PhD degree in the Environmental Health Sciences is an advanced research degree that prepares students to employ laboratory and community approaches to address adverse environmental health impacts.
The The Accelerated Master's Program is a path for continuous study from the bachelor’s degree through a master’s level professional degree at the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.
