School of Health Sciences
The School of Health Sciences, formed in 1979, evolved from several interdisciplinary activities relating to public and occupational health and to the control of environmental hazards. This included the radiological health, industrial hygiene, and environmental health activities in the Bionucleonics Department, the medical technology program in the School of Science, and the pre-pharmacy program in the School of Science.
