Environmental Health Data Science

专业详情

The field of Environmental Health Science has become increasingly dependent on the use of massive and complex data sources. Understanding how to work with, analyze, and interpret data used in the context of Environmental Health has rapidly become a highly valued, yet uncommonly taught, skill set. The Department of Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) is offering a Master of Science (MS) track in Environmental Health Data Science. The curriculum is designed to educate students in the field of environmental health and to provide the quantitative skills needed to work with and analyze these complex environmental health data sources used in the environmental health sciences, including geospatial modeling, advanced statistics, and data management.

In addition to completing rigorous coursework, students gain valuable practical experience by completing a thesis. The thesis research project is meant to apply the skills that they have learned to an environmental health issue by working with data.
