Toxicology
The Center for Environmental and Human Toxicology serves as the focal point
for activities concerning the effects of chemicals on human and animal health. The
Center's affiliated faculty includes 20 to 30 scientists and clinicians interested in
elucidating the mechanisms of chemical-induced toxicity, and is drawn from the
Colleges of Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Pharmacy, Public Health and Health
Professions, Engineering, and the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. The
broadly based, interdisciplinary expertise provided by this faculty is also used to
address complex issues related to protecting public health and the environment.
Students who wish to receive graduate training in interdisciplinary toxicology leading
to a Ph.D. enroll through one of the participating graduate programs. The number of
graduate programs involved in interdisciplinary toxicology, and the variety of
perspectives provided by their disciplines, allows a great deal of flexibility in providing
a plan of graduate study to meet an individual student's interests and goals in
toxicology. Student course work and dissertation research are guided by the Center's
researchers and affiliated faculty who are also Graduate Faculty members in the
student's major academic unit. Dissertation research may be conducted either in the
student's academic unit, or at the Toxicology Laboratory facilities, at the Center. For
more information, please write to the Director, Center for Environmental and Human
Toxicology, P.O. Box 110885, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611; or visit

Transnational and Global Studies
The Transnational and Global Studies Center (TGSC) is one of several federally
funded centers on campus. The TGSC is a National Resource Center created in 2003
through funding from the U.S. Department of Education. It is part of a Florida-wide
consortium of universities, the Florida Network for Global Studies. The TGSC is
housed in the International Center but has affiliated faculty from the entire campus.
The TGSC promotes interdisciplinary research, supports faculty and students by
developing curricula and academic programs, sponsors cultural activities and guest
speakers on transnational and global issues, and conducts outreach. The TGSC offers
the Transnational and Global Studies Graduate Certificate. This certificate will enable
graduate students to identify one of four tracks that will help strengthen their
interdisciplinary studies. The graduate tracks articulate with the undergraduate
international studies major. The certificate curriculum is reviewed by the
Transnational and Global Studies (TNGS) Certificate Committee for approval but does
not supersede the supervisory committee's role. The graduate certificate recognizes
successful completion of course work (13 credits for master's, 15 credits for Ph.D.)
related to transnational and global issues. Courses meeting certificate requirements
come from more than 50 graduate courses with specific transnational and global
content, organized into four areas of specialization: science and technology, business
and economics, global governance and security, and development and area studies.
