Environmental Health Risk Assessment Certificate

Risk assessment, a process developed in 1983 by the National Academy of Sciences, provides the framework for most current studies of environmental health concerns. Students in this certificate program will be provided concentrated graduate education that will enable them to:

• Specify/measure the magnitude, duration and route of human exposure to selected hazardous environmental/occupational agents.
• Describe methods for quantifying dose and specify how this knowledge can be used to estimate probability of developing environmental/occupational disease outcomes.
