The Environmental Health Science major curriculum is a four-year program offered through Clarkson's Institute for a Sustainable Environment (ISE). Environmental Health Science majors have access to state-of-the-art equipment and laboratories, as well as three centers for collaborative research with faculty: the Center for Air Resources Engineering and Science (CARES), the Center for Sustainable Energy Systems (CSES) and the Great Rivers Center (GRC). By combining these facilities with the program's education, Clarkson provides you with knowledge and experience in Environmental Health Science.<br><br>Industrial hygiene involves the recognition, evaluation and control of health hazards arising in or from the work environment. The ability to qualitatively and quantitatively assess work and community exposures to hazardous agents and then develop effective control strategies to minimize the risk or harm to workers and the general public is a highly sought after skill set. The industrial hygiene degree program at Clarkson was established in early 1980s, with the first degrees being awarded in 1984. In 2007, the name was changed to environmental health science (EHS) to allow for an expanded focus of the degree curriculum and the types of careers the students may pursue.
