The PhD PHP emphasizes Environmental Health practice, policy, or management with a focus on applied science and more practical problem solving. A student in the PhD PHP program will be required to complete the core didactic curriculum and then go on to conduct original research leading to the dissertation and defense. The performance site may be within the Department of Environmental & Occupational Health, or in some cases, another external facility. Students can specialize in Environmental Health Risk Assessment, Occupational Health, or Translational Bioscience.
