The minor provides majors in Biological Sciences, Plant Science, Food Science and Technology, and other majors with courses which prepare students for careers in the California Department of Public Health as Registered Environmental Health Specialists. Increasing awareness of pollution and other health-related environmental problems has led to a demand for specialists to enforce and administer laws governing water, food, and air contamination, noise, land use planning, occupational health hazards, and animal vectors of disease.
Students interested in more information may contact Dr. Eileen Cullen (Plant Science Department), or Dr. John Chan (Biological Sciences Department).
