COURSE CURRICULUM

The Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences provides a broad range of graduate opportunities focused on understanding the relationship between environmental factors, radiation, and human health. The program covers multiple specialized areas, including cancer biology and oncology, where students study the development, causes, and prevention of cancer, along with potential treatment approaches. It also emphasizes occupational and environmental health, particularly in fields such as industrial hygiene and ergonomics, which aim to identify workplace hazards, improve safety conditions, and enhance overall human performance and well-being.In addition, the department offers advanced study in health physics and radiation sciences, including radiobiology, radioecology, and radiochemistry. These areas focus on how radiation interacts with living systems and the environment, as well as methods to monitor, manage, and reduce radiation exposure. Students also gain knowledge in epidemiology and toxicology, which involve analyzing disease patterns, investigating environmental and chemical risks, and assessing their impact on public health. Overall, the department combines scientific research with practical applications to prepare students for careers in public health, environmental protection, healthcare, research, and regulatory fields.
