The environmental health major at Oakland University provides a flexible setting in which students can acquire a strong science-based technical background along with critical thinking skills. The major includes classes from several traditional major departments along with advanced interdisciplinary courses. The courses described in this article and the general design of the environmental health major may be of interest to other institutions considering a chemistry-based environmental curriculum. The environmental health program with the toxic substance control option is an educational experience unique to Oakland University.
