University of California, Los Angeles Jonathan and Karin Fielding School of Public Health 28 courses
The minor in Environmental Health Sciences is designed for students who wish to develop foundational knowledge in the science of how environmental conditions affect human health. The minor examines biological, chemical, and physical hazards in ambient, built, indoor, and occupational environments; and explores the pathways by which these hazards affect human health at the individual and population level. Drawing on toxicology, epidemiology, exposure science, and risk assessment, the minor prepares students to critically evaluate environmental health evidence and to understand the regulatory and policy frameworks designed to protect public health. A common thread across the curriculum is attention to environmental justice and the unequal distribution of environmental health risks. The minor complements a wide range of undergraduate majors and provides preparation for graduate study and careers in environmental health, public health, and related fields.
