Why An Environmental Health Career?

• Graduates with environmental health degrees are more likely to get hired soon after graduation.

• Because we need you. There is a national shortage of trained environmental health professionals.

• The number of environmental health threats continues to grow: E-coli outbreaks, West Nile Virus, devastating events such as September 11th, & Hurricane Katrina, bring about environmental health threats that calls for an increase in the number of people trained to address these issues. We need more people to choose a career in environmental health to protect human health and the environment.
