The center is sponsored by the School of Natural Resources in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences as well as the Medical School and the schools of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy. The center links researchers in numerous academic departments who are working on problems in this area. An interdisciplinary graduate program leading to the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Toxicology is offered by the center under the direction of a steering committee composed of faculty affiliated with the center. All students participate in a core curriculum that addresses these various areas and that is supplemented by other advanced, specialized courses.
