It focuses on environmental health, science, technology, management, and policy issues. The program is founded in the analytical and quantitative environmental disciplines. Applicants are required to have undergraduate instruction in chemistry, calculus, and biology or engineering. Individuals with experience in science, engineering, health science, social science, and environmental studies are also encouraged to participate. The program emphasizes the development of specific skills and the accumulation of knowledge about the natural environment's systems, the affects of hazardous materials on these systems and on human health, and the solutions to the problems.
Pollution prevention is stressed throughout all aspects of the program.
The Environmental Management Forum is a speaker series designed to present new ideas and provide students with opportunities to interact with environmental professionals. The bi-weekly forum explores topics related to or expanding upon the principles taught in the courses. Attendance at the Forum for two semesters is required of HMM students. The Forum is open to any member of the Tufts community. The goal of the fellowship is to enhance participation of executives and scientists who are women, minorities, and members of socially disadvantaged groups in the upper levels of environmental management and protection.
