Students are admitted to the general program in environmental health when they are looking for a program of study that does not fit precisely with the specialty tracks defined in the EH major. Emphasis is on the development of a broad, solid foundation in environmental health, with a larger than usual number of elective credits to allow the student an opportunity to pursue their particular interests. Planning such a program requires careful discussion between the student and faculty advisor. Applicants interested in a global health concentration in EH should apply for the general program at this time.
It is occasionally possible for students to transfer into a specialty track after admission to the general program. This is viewed on a cases by case basis. Applicants to the general program should not assume that they will easily be able to transfer into another concentration.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of the general program can expect to find employment (depending on their interests) in government agencies at the federal, state or local levels; industry; private consulting groups; and international groups.
