Discover. Protect. Serve.

The air we breathe. The water we drink. The food we eat. The quality of each is critically important to our ability to thrive as individuals and communities. These are the basic human needs that must be provided and protected for any civilization to flourish. Students of environmental health, investigate, evaluate, and eliminate environmental conditions that threaten to harm people and their communities. They protect and serve us all.

The ETSU Bachelor of Science program in Environmental Health prepares you for careers in both the public and private sector working in local, state or federal public health agencies, in private industry, or in non-profit organizations. Some graduates even find opportunities in the Peace Corps and work in amazing settings around the world helping provide safe drinking water or formulating plans to help emerging areas deal with environmental hazards. The Association of Environmental Health Academic Programs, of which the Department of Environmental Health at ETSU is a member, states that 90% of environmental health graduates who actively seek a job generally have one at graduation or soon thereafter.

If a career of protecting people in the workplace at the Occupational Health and Safety Administration or investigating health related issues at the Center for Disease Control or evaluating environmental hazards at the Environmental Protection Agency or helping eliminate contaminants from a local drinking well while serving in the Peace Corps sounds like what you want to do with the rest of your life, then ETSU is where it all begins.
