Master of Science Degree

 The Environmental and Occupational Health Program offers a Master of Science degree in Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences. 

The MS program is built on a foundation of course work provided by the BS - Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences offered by the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health. Thus, MS candidates will have to have completed the same courses required of BS - EOH students before becoming fully classified graduate students.

Applicants must have completed the lower-division science core, in order to be accepted to the MS EOH program:

• One year of general Biology with lab
• One year of Inorganic Chemistry with lab
• One semester of Organic Chemistry with lab
• One year of general Physics with lab
• Either pre-calculus or College Algebra and Trigonometry
• One semester of statistics or biostatistics 

The Master of Science degree in Environmental and Occupational Health has a 26-unit core of 500 level or higher courses within the required 35-unit minimum.  Classified graduate students must have the full complement of courses required of undergraduates.  The culminating requirement is completion of a thesis or a comprehensive examination.
