Environmental Studies: The Global Human Environment Concentration, Specialization in Environment and Health, M.S.

Note:

Courses are 3 credits unless noted otherwise.

The Global Human Environment

The global human environment concentration studies the complex biological and cultural interactions of human populations through time with their varied environmental and geographic contexts. This subject is the focus of the subfields of evolution, ecology, anthropology, epidemiology, and forensics. These courses accentuate the dynamic interactions of these factors and their resulting effects on the intricate natural cycles of the biosphere, and methods of health risk assessment.
