Our program prepares college students to work in the public and private sectors protecting human health and natural resources.
One of only 30 nationally-accredited programs, the UW-Eau Claire Environmental Public Health major provides a comprehensive foundation in applied sciences and real-life preparation for employment. Small class sizes, caring faculty, field trips, hands-on equipment usage and paid internships distinguish our program.
Prepare the next generation of environmental public health professionals.
