Minor in Environmental Occupational Health
A minor in Environmental Occupational Health (EOH) will broaden your understanding of human exposure to chemical, biological, and physical agents. The following are the requirements for a minor in EOH. This minor will be available to all undergraduate students (except EOH majors). The minor will enable students to satisfy the accreditation requirements of their particular major while focusing electives on pertinent courses in environmental health science/industrial hygiene. Electives used to satisfy requirements of the minor include science and engineering courses that address the core concepts of Industrial Hygiene as defined by the America Board of Industrial Hygiene. Students will receive a Bachelor of Science degree in their major with a minor in EOH.
