The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health is a four-year undergraduate program that focuses on understanding and managing environmental factors that affect human health. The program prepares students to identify, assess, and control environmental risks in both rural and urban settings.
Key areas of study include water and sanitation, food safety, occupational health, waste management, environmental toxicology, and public health law. Students gain practical experience in field investigations, laboratory analysis, and community health assessments.
Graduates are equipped to work in government agencies, local councils, health institutions, environmental consultancies, and international organizations. The program also lays a strong foundation for those interested in pursuing advanced studies or professional certification in environmental and public health fields.
