Students choose a topic to research on their own under the guidance of a faculty advisor who will then grade the final written report.

This course examines current advances in environmental health science via lectures from UMass faculty with research programs related to environmental health, UMass PhD students in the EHS program, as well as visiting scholars. Seminar topics will change from week to week and will include topics such as pollution, exposure assessments, mechanistic toxicology, environmental health policy, environmental epidemiology, and others.

This course examines current advances in environmental health science via critical reading and discussion of recently published peer-reviewed papers related to environmental health. Using the typical journal club format, the papers (and topics) discussed will change from week to week and will include topics such as pollution, exposure assessments, mechanistic toxicology, environmental epidemiology, and others.

Opportunity for supervised field observation to gain practice experience in selected public health agencies.

This course allows MPH students to tackle an Environmental Health problem using the skills and educational resources they have developed during their first year of coursework, during their practicum experience, and in their other professional experiences (employment, internships, volunteer work, etc.). Students will select a problem they can study or research in depth over a period of 10-12 weeks.

Students choose a topic to research on their own under the guidance of a faculty advisor who will then grade the final written report.

This course is developed to meet this upcoming demand for a new generation of toxicologists. In this class students will learn about new methods and approaches and will perform a project based on next generation sequencing starting from tissues of exposed and control animals through bioinformatic analysis of molecular pathways that were affected by exposure and generation of toxicity assessment data.

Concepts of control methods used by environmental health and engineering practitioners. Topics include water, wastewater, solid wastes, food sanitation, vector control, housing, and accident control measures.

This doctoral seminar focuses on developing and refining analytical writing skills, doctoral study goals, professional beliefs, research skills and life beyond the degree program.
