ENV 102Humans and the Environment3
A study of the ability of humans to survive and maintain their life quality considering the limited resources and recycling capacity of planet Earth. Note: Only one of the following courses can be completed for credit: SCB 102, ENV 102, or ESS 102. Gen Ed Attribute: Interdisciplinary, Sustainability Pathway Distance education offering may be available. Equivalent courses: ESS 102, SCB 102
ENV 230Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response3
Provides students with the training required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency to work sites where hazardous wastes and/or materials may be stored, spilled, transported or used. 2026-2027 CATALOG - UNDERGRADUATE
ENV 242Global Climate Change & the Future of Public Health3
This course examines global climate change through the interconnected lenses of social equity, economic vitality, human health and education, and environmental protection. As the impacts of climate change mount, millions of vulnerable people face disproportionate challenges in terms of extreme events, health effects, food, water, and livelihood security, migration and forced displacement, loss of cultural identity, and other related risks. Students will learn to identify the complexity and seek common solutions that a globally changing climate has had on past, present, and future impacts to human health and to the environment. Gen Ed Attribute: Speaking Emphasis
This course examines environmental sustainability through the interconnected lenses of social equity, economic vitality, and environmental protection. Students will identify solutions for unsustainable patterns and develop innovative thinking skills related to resource consumption, biodiversity conservation, human health and education, environmental justice, and the sustainable balance of all involved. Attention to these factors paves the way for humans and the environment and economy to thrive together rather than compete or merely survive. Gen Ed Attribute: Speaking Emphasis, Sustainability Pathway
An examination of human health and ecological risk assessment with emphasis on exposure estimation. ENV 445 Prerequisite: Successful completion of ENV 102.
Prepares students for working with federal and Pennsylvania environmental regulations. Emphasizes use and development of Internet regulatory resources. Specific discussions and exercises related to various regulatory agencies are included. ENV 447 Prerequisite: Successful completion of ENV 102.
Sources, characteristics, and amounts of solid and hazardous wastes and their implications for human health. Methods of collection, handling, disposal, and recycling. ENV 450 Prerequisite: Successful completion of ENV 102.
An investigation of the health problems caused by toxic substances in the workplace and in the general environment. ENV 451 Prerequisite: Successful completion of BIO 204 and ENV 102. Corequisite: CHE 230.
This course is an investigation of the anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of airborne and dermal health hazards in the workplace. Hazard communication and regulatory compliance are also addressed. ENV 452 Prerequisite: Successful completion of ENV 102.
This course is designed to provide the opportunity to conduct a fundamental investigation of an environmental health issue and to allow for presentation of project results as a written manuscript and as a poster. Concepts of hypothesis formation, experimental design, data collection, data analysis, and interpretation of results are part of the in-depth investigation o topics of significance to the environmental health field. Topics will vary from year to year.
This course is an investigation of the anticipation, recognition, evaluation and control of ergonomic problems, noise, thermal stress, and radiation in the workplace. Worker training strategies related to occupational health and safety are also addressed. ENV 460 Prerequisite: Successful completion of ENV 102.
An examination of the quality and quantity requirements of surface and subsurface water resources used for drinking water supplies. Laboratory included. ENV 462 Prerequisite: Successful completion of ENV 102.
This course addresses emergency preparedness for schools, businesses, communities, and counties. Types of emergencies considered include natural disasters, failures of technology (spills, accidents and explosions) and acts or war or terrorism.
This course addresses the protection of the public's health and the health of workers such as first responders from biological agents that cause disease and/or death. Communication and coping strategies, group interaction, case studies, and the use of Internet resources will be integrated with response strategies, measurement techniques, personal protection and decontamination procedures.
This course will address the protection of human health from environmental disease agents. Students will learn current issues in environmental risk assessment, air and water pollution, waste management, and workplace health and safety. Students will use this information to communicate effectively the relevant environmental risk to populations they serve. Training and education strategies and the use of instructional resources, including the Internet, will be integrated into the learning experience.
A comprehensive assessment of the environmental health aspects of hospitals, including micro-biologic considerations, environmental hygiene, safety, general sanitation, and administration.
An examination of the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of natural waters and their significance for human health; methods of water treatment and distribution also will be considered.
Provides a qualitative and quantitative examination of hazard, toxicity, and exposure assessment to establish human health and ecological risk from environmental contamination.
Provides a fundamental overview of major environmental law principles. Focuses on a wide range of air, waste, water, transportation, and occupational regulations.
A multifaceted investigation of the health problems caused by various toxins and hazards found in the general environment and the workplace. The human body's reactions to environmental toxins; how suspected environmental toxins are experimentally investigated and the specific health effects of critical environmental toxins will be emphasized. ENV 551 Prerequisite: Successful completion of ENV 530.
A study of the practices to reduce safety risks in the work environment through recognition, evaluation, and control of safety hazards. ENV 553 Prerequisite: Successful completion of ENV 530.
This course examines the historical, legal, and regulatory framework for dealing with emergencies emphasizing the four phases of emergency management. It addresses emergency preparedness by schools, businesses, communities, and counties for natural disasters, failures of technology (spills, accidents, and explosions), and acts of war or terrorism. The course is designed for professionals in environmental and public health, emergency responders (police, fire, hazmat, and medical), planners, educators, and others who may serve in a leadership capacity.
An in-depth study of selected, current topics relevant to the development of environmental health professionals. Specific topics will be noted in the master schedule. ENV 581 Prerequisite: Successful completion of ENV 530. Repeatable for credit. 269
