Public Health 319 - Cancer and the Environment

This class will provide an overview of how cancer is seen from the perspective of environmental health. We will explore in-depth how cancer is diagnosed, what is meant by "cancer clusters," how environmental chemicals are tested for their carcinogenicity, and how cancer trends have increased over time. The remainder of the semester will focus on environmental agents that have been implicated in human cancers.

Open to Seniors, Juniors & Sophomores only. 55 seats are reserved for Public Health students
