The Department of Environmental and Occupational Health in the Colorado School of Public Health focuses on preventing
environmental and occupational health related disease and promoting health through our education, research and
professional and community service. Our programs prepare students to contemplate the causes and consequences
of chemical contamination and poorly designed environments on human health and the ways in which public health
professionals can intervene to improve the environment whether at home, in the workplace or the broader community.
From air pollution and hazardous waste to risk assessment and injury prevention to policy and healthy community design,
the Department offers courses and curriculum to meet students’ diverse environmental and occupational interests.
The Department offers a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in Environmental and Occupational Health at both the
University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Colorado State University (CSU). The Department also is home to
the Occupational & Environmental Medicine Residency Program.
Master in Public Health Environmental and Occupational
Program OverviewHealth Concentration
As an environmental and occupational health student you’ll learn to:
Characterize the human health effects of major environmental and occupational hazards.
Analyze sources, pathways and routes of exposure to environmental and occupational hazards and
determine the populations with a high risk of exposure.
Prevent and control environmental and occupational hazards and recommend and/or design appropriate
interventions.
Synthesize policy and practice to help solve environmental and occupational health problems.
Utilize participatory strategies to address the unequal distribution of hazards in the environment and
advocate for justice and for a clean and healthy environment where people work, live and play.
Environmental and occupational health professionals
have varied interests including industrial hygiene,
workplace safety, exposure science, risk assessment,
epidemiology and, more broadly, the built environment,
urban planning and worker health and wellness. To
be successful in an MPH program in environmental
and occupational health, applicants should have a
background in health or natural sciences with a science
GPA of 3.0 or better. Previous coursework in chemistry,
biology, statistics, and/or geographic information
systems is recommended. Strong analytic and writing

of career goals related to environmental or occupational
health.
