We offer academic programs and research opportunities to help you understand disease causes, preventions and the best way to implement this knowledge to improve public health.
The MS program in Environmental Health Sciences prepares you for a career as an environmental health research scientist, professional or specialist, or for continuing graduate study as a doctoral student in relevant scientific fields.
Gain the skills and knowledge necessary to design and conduct studies into understanding the causation, distribution, control, prevention and improvement of outcomes of disease and other health conditions.

Study the frequency, distribution and determinants of human diseases and injuries in populations to design evidence-based interventions that improve health.
With this collaborative program, you will earn two degrees—MD from UB’s Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and PhD in epidemiology—in less time and with fewer credits than each individually.
You will be assigned a faculty advisor to assist in planning a program that meets your educational goals, and to answer questions relating to graduate studies. The advisor will assist you until all coursework is completed and you choose a major professor to chair your MS or PhD thesis/project/dissertation or MPH integrative project. You should plan to consult with your advisor prior to registration each semester.
