Overview:

Doctoral students will be able to enter the program through either division. Students entering through EnHS will minor in HPM. HPM students will complete supporting coursework in environmental and occupational health. Students for the occupational health services and policy program will be interviewed by Dr. Dowd and Dr. McGovern for the relevance of their academic and career objectives to the program's goals.

Student progress in both divisions will be monitored by an academic advisor and a thesis advisor. The academic advisor will monitor the student's status, courses, and grades. Students will be required to meet at least once per semester with the academic advisor to discuss progress with the degree. The thesis advisor will monitor the doctoral student's progress with their doctoral dissertation. The student must pass a written preliminary exam, and undergo formal evaluation of the research plan and findings by passing the preliminary and final oral examinations. The latter are administered by faculty committees appointed by the Graduate School. For students in the occupational health services research and policy program, either Dr. Dowd or Dr. McGovern will serve as academic advisor or co-advisor, and the faculty members with the most relevant expertise from both divisions will be asked to serve on the dissertation committee. Overall progress of PhD students is monitored by the Director of Graduate Studies from the students' home division.
