Bachelor of Science in Engineering
The Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering offers a B.S.E. program in environmental
health. (See Civil and Environmental
Engineering for program description and
requirements.)
GRADUATE ProgrAM
Master of Science in Environmental Health
Requirements:
1. Core Courses (four credits)
CEE 154 Principles of Epidemiology
CEE 167 Environmental Toxicology
CEE 158 Occupational and Environmental Health
BIO 132 or MPH 205 Biostatistics
Another biostatistics or environmental statistics
course may be substituted with the permission of
the student’s major advisor and thesis committee.
2. Thesis (two credits)—The M.S. thesis is the
culmination of concentrated study in a specific area
of research within environmental health. Thesis
work contributes two course credits toward the
M.S. degree (CEE-295 and CEE-296).
3. Tracks (three credits)—All Environmental
Health M.S. students must select either the
Epidemiology or the Risk Assessment track. Students
must take the required advanced course in the track,
and then select two other courses as track electives.
At least one of the courses must be from the track
elective list; the other can be a course from the
other track elective list, from the supplemental list
of courses, or another course that the student feels
will meet his/her needs. All electives must be
approved by the academic advisor.
Epidemiology TRACK
Advanced Course (required):
CEE 164 Epidemiological Methods
Track Electives (choose three):
CEE 173 Health Effects and Risk Assessment

MPH 206 Intermediate Biostatistics: Regression Methods
MPH 220 Cardiovascular Epidemiology
MPH 222 Survey Research Methods & Data Management
CEE 241/MPH241 Biology of Water and Health
CEE 194E Field Methods for Global Health
Other courses may be selected with the approval of
the student’s advisor.

the student’s advisor.
4. Supplemental Electives List—Other courses of
interest to EH MS students include the following.
You may substitute one of these courses for one of
your track elective with your advisor’s approval.
