Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Learning Outcomes Master of Science Degree

The Master of Science in Environmental and Occupational Health is based on the foundation provided by the BS-EOH from CSUN. All graduate students must demonstrate that they have this foundation.

The MS – EOH curriculum provides a foundation of research skills and advanced education that will lead to enhanced skills in leadership, communication (written and oral), critical thinking, research, and potential for growth over and above what is expected of a bachelor’s degree. We believe the MS degree demonstrates a commitment to advanced study and continued learning on the part of graduates. The quality of our graduates is reflected in the success they have achieved in the field of EOH.

Graduates of the graduate program in Environmental and Occupational Health should be able to:

1. Apply knowledge of research design and analytical skills to critically evaluate scientific, technical, and regulatory documents. 2.
