The Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) MPH Program at Tulane will provide training in assessment of environmental health hazards, integrating emerging knowledge and strategies to understand and reduce public health risk. The curriculum and applied learning opportunities draw upon Tulane's extensive research and over five decades of experience in providing leadership training in environmental health to students locally, nationally and from around the world to tackle critical contemporary issues in climate change, exposure science, and data science. Coursework and learning opportunities are designed to support the range of science- and public health-based expertise needed to understand and protect health across home, work and community environments.
