MS and MPH programs at Columbia

As your graduating students consider options for continuing their education, I’m writing to let you know about a program that might be of interest to your environmental program students. The Department of Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) at Columbia University recently added a Master of Science (MS) in Toxicology to our degree offerings.

Out Department is part of the Mailman School of Public Health, ranked 5th among Public Health School in the nation by US News. We are a faculty of world-class researchers, engaged in cutting-edge science, exploring how exposure to environmental hazards leads to adverse health effects. However, our highest priority is to engage, teach, mentor, and develop the next generation of environmental health scientists – preparing them to take leading roles in solving environmental health challenges.

Individuals with an environmental background make up a significant portion of our student body. While our Master of Public Health (MPH) application deadline for Fall, 2017 enrollment has passed, the application for our Master of Science (MS) in Toxicology program is open until June 1, 2017.

Research in South Africa

Oceans Campus is offering an opportunity for undergraduate students of all levels to become a member of the Oceans Research Unit in Mossel Bay, South Africa.

The renowned Oceans Research Internship offers a 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity for students to gain hands on practical training in conducting  research on South Africa's marine mega-fauna, including the great white shark. Interns join our scientists daily on their research expeditions to  conduct groundbreaking research and experiments involving Mossel Bay's sharks and marine mammals.

Being a part of this internship, students will gain valuable insight and training in the latest research techniques and seamanship to equip them with the skills necessary to be a successful marine biologist.

If you feel that this opportunity is something that may be interesting or  beneficial to your students, please feel free to pass this information onto them and I would be happy to supply more information.
