(Prerequisite: Approval of the graduate advisor or the Department Chair)…………………………………………………………….Environmental Toxicology…………………………………………………………….The Environmental Toxicology degree program is offered through the Graduate School and housed in the Department ofChemistry. The program is interdisciplinary with support provided by the Departments of Biology and Chemistry and theCollege of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.The environmental toxicology programs consist of a Master of Science degree program and a Doctor of Philosophy degreeprogram. In offering these degrees, the programs are designed to:481. Prepare students for professional careers in industry, government and higher education.2. Prepare scientists who have a knowledge of the basic mechanisms by which pollutants act in the abiotic andliving environments.3. Prepare professionals who are qualified to pursue research on environmental problems created by industrialpollution and by other human activities that change the natural environment.4. Prepare professionals who are capable of making environmental impact and risk assessments and can developappropriate environmental planning and management models that will be used in formulating environmentalpolicy.5. Train environmental toxicologists who are prepared by training and experience to anticipate, assess and recommendaction on a wide spectrum of environmental problems.6. Increase the number of minority researchers in the field of environmental toxicology.
