The Environmental Toxicology program offers advanced courses and laboratory research on the relationships between environmental exposure and human diseases. Emphasis is placed on developing skills to acquire a better understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms. The curriculum emphasizes current knowledge of cell and molecular biology and physiology to provide basic understanding of sources of exposure, dose deposition, and fate of chemicals in the body. Research facilities are in a new building equipped with modern instrumentation. Ph. D. graduates are encouraged to be independent scholars, and have wide carreer choises in academia, industry, and the federal government.
Alumni hold prestigous positions internationally.
The M.S. program includes an internship.
