Ph.D. in Public Health with a Concentration in Occupational and Environmental Health Sciences

The faculty members listed below represent the first tier of faculty who have requested an appointment in the doctoral public health field of study. All have funded research programs with research objectives that merit doctoral investigations and a strong record of publications in peer-reviewed journals. Over half of the faculty members have successfully mentored doctoral students to degree completion. All have a strong record of mentoring of graduate students and/or postdoctoral fellows, and are doctorally trained tenure track faculty members who have committed to join the doctoral field of study and who will advise and mentor doctoral students.
