The areas of study offered by the doctoral program are biostatistics, epidemiology, ergonomics and biomechanics, exposure assessment and health effects, molecular toxicology/carcinogenesis, and toxicology. The master’s program offers environmental hygiene, environmental toxicology, and ergonomics and biomechanics. The Program in Environmental Health Sciences collaborates with other departments of the Graduate School of Arts and Science. For example, a collaborative doctoral program between biology and environmental health is designed for students who wish to obtain a solid foundation in biology while specializing in environmental health. A description of the programs can be obtained from the environmental health sciences (EHS) Web site at www.med.nyu.edu/environmental/graduate or the ergonomics and biomechanics (ERBI) Web site at www.oioc.org under “Education.” Applicants for admission and fellowship support should contact the EHS graduate coordinator at 845-731-3661 or the ERBI program administrator at 212-255-6690.
