环境卫生理学学士

环境卫生是公共卫生的一个分支，与自然和建筑环境如何影响人类健康有关。对环境健康科学专业的学生进行了培训，以确保其通过科学，公共卫生，管理和政策相结合的课程来确保人们饮食，呼吸，触摸和喝水的安全。环境卫生专业人员在各种各样的环境中工作。几乎所有这些工作都涉及与人们合作，并将科学技术信息翻译成清晰易懂的语言，用于教育，法律和公共信息。学生将准备使用技术和策略来解决环境疾病的原因，并采取与食源性，水传播和媒介传播的疾病以及导致先天缺陷和癌症的环境疾病相关的预防措施。BSEH学位还将使学生为开发清洁能源替代方案做
Environmental health is a branch of public health that is concerned with all aspects of how the natural and built environment affects human health. Environmental health science students are trained to ensure the safety of what people eat, breathe, touch, and drink through a curriculum that blends science, public health, management, and policy. Environmental health professionals work in a wide variety of settings. Almost all of these involve working with people and translating scientific and technical information into clear and understandable language for educational, legal and public information. Students will be prepared to use technologies and strategies to address environmental disease causes and apply preventative measures associated with foodborne, waterborne, and vector borne diseases, as well environmental diseases causing birth defects and cancer. A BSEH degree will also prepare students to develop clean energy alternatives, reducing carbon emissions. Student will also provide leadership in development of comprehensive energy plans to avoid major economic disruption during disasters. Graduates from the ECU's environmental health sciences program will be prepared for the professional challenges and opportunities available with local, state, federal, and international agencies. Student will learn the value of teamwork and communication skills necessary to protect the public health from any environmental threat.
