Minor in Environmental and Occupational Health

The minor in Environmental and Occupational Health Science is designed for students in other CSUN majors who wish to add some of the skills and knowledge provided by the EOH degree.  The addition of this minor to another BS or BA from CSUN will qualify the student for many (but not all) of the employment opportunities available for our graduates.  Please feel free to contact the Department for more information.

The requirements for the minor include 32 units of science prerequisites.  Many students may already have these courses included in their home department's BA or BS requirements.

Biology 101 
Biology 281 / 281
Chemistry 103 / 104
Chemistry235
Physics 100A / L and Physics 100B / L
EOH 455 / L or Biology 215

Substitutions for the Biology and Chemistry are allowed.  For example, Biology 106 and 107 with lab may be substituted for the Biology 101 and 281 / 282.  Please contact the Department if you have questions about substitutions.

The Minor requirements are:

EOH 352
EOH 356A
EOH 356B
EOH 466A
HSCI 488
EOH 494A
HSCI 390/L or Math 140

Finally, the Minor includes six units of EOH electives, from the list below.

These courses should be selected with the approval of an advisor from the Environmental and Occupational Health Program.
