The Department of Environmental Health focuses on complex problems that require a multi disciplinary approach. Teaching is carried out through three concentrations:

• Exposure, Epidemiology, and Risk (EER)
• Environmental and Occupational Medicine and Epidemiology Program (EOME)
• Molecular and Integrative Physiological Sciences (MIPS)
