    Job Summary/Basic Functions

A partial goal of the EKU MPH Program is to develop students into competent Environmental Health Science (EHS) / Industrial Hygiene (IH) professionals.

The enrichment of the mentioned knowledge and skills in the EHS/IH graduate students is fostered by working with their faculty coordinators in their teaching/lab related assignments.
