Community and Environmental Health Deanne Shuman, Chair The School of Community and Environmental Health offers undergraduate, graduate, and certificate programs that lead to careers in health services research, public health, community health, health care administration, environmental health, and occupational safety and health. Additionally, the Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences (B.S.H.S.) and the Master of Public Health offer practicing health care professionals the opportunity to complete their degrees in a distance format. Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health www.hs.odu.edu/commhealth/academics/bs_enviro/ Gary Burgess, Interim Program Director Environmental health is the study and management of factors that adversely affect the environment and the health and well-being of humans. The curriculum in environmental health, which is accredited by the National Environmental Health Science and Protection Accreditation Council, encompasses a variety of disciplines in the preparation of environmental health specialists, industrial hygienists, and occupational safety specialists. Environmental health specialists are responsible for education, consultation, and enforcement relating to local, state and federal laws, regulations, and standards governing the safety and sanitation of air, water, milk, food, solid, hazardous and infectious wastes, sewage, housing, institutional environments, and other health hazards. They are actively involved in the overall environmental quality within a community and prevention of diseases associated with environmental factors. Industrial hygienists conduct health hazard evaluations, perform health effects/risk assessment research, and manage health programs in industries or governmental organizations. They anticipate, recognize, evaluate, control, and eliminate health hazards in industry, the community, or the environment. Occupational safety professionals similarly anticipate, identify and evaluate hazardous conditions and practices in the workplace. They develop, implement, administer, measure and evaluate the effectiveness of hazard control programs. The program requires six credit hours of field practice or internship within an environmental health setting, either a governmental or industrial site. A variety of internship sites are available in the Hampton Roads area for these experiences. Internship sites elsewhere in the state, nation, or world can also be arranged if desired. Internships are typically taken the summer between the junior and senior year. Students are responsible for providing their own transportation to these sites. Upon graduation, students are eligible to sit for the professional licensing examination in environmental health. With experience, students are eligible to take the certification examination in industrial hygiene and/or occupational safety. A broad spectrum of employment opportunities is available to graduates whose employment success has been outstanding. Graduates have found positions in local, state, and federal health and environmental agencies such as the FDA, USDA, EPA, OSHA, NASA, and DOD. Many work in hospitals, industries, insurance companies, laboratories, consulting firms, waste and wastewater plants, and other organizations, agencies and firms. Students may be admitted to the program on the satisfactory completion of 60 semester hours of recommended study of required prerequisite courses and with the approval of the program director. Applications to the program, including all materials, must be submitted no later than February 1 for consideration for admission the following fall. Exemptions may be appealed through the program director. Students who fail to meet the established deadline for formal admission will usually be allowed to take environmental health courses if space is available; however, permission must be granted by the program director prior to registration.

Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences (B.S.H.S.) www.hs.odu.edu/commhealth/academics/bshs Jacqueline E. Sharpe, Program Director The Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences (B.S.H.S.) degree allows students to choose from the following concentrations: 1. The public health concentration 2. The health services administration concentration. The health services administration concentration for those students with licensure or certification Public Health Concentration According to the American Public Health Association (APHA), "Public health protects individuals, families and communities from serious health threats ranging from diabetes to bird flu that are often times preventable." The public health profession provides essential services that allow successful tracking of the spread of chronic and communicable diseases, provide needed community health education, and detect health problems in newborns. Public health professionals strive to improve society's quality of life. Public health officials have many responsibilities and work to increase access to healthcare, reduce substance abuse and control infectious diseases in human populations. A public health undergraduate concentration is preferred to begin a career as a public health professional. Earning a degree with a public health concentration qualifies an individual for entrylevel positions in fields such as health services administration, epidemiology, and health promotion. The purpose of the concentration in public health is to provide students the necessary skills to enter the public health profession. Public health is a rapidly expanding profession and is critical to the current workforce shortage and vital to global health. Applicants for admission to the health sciences degree program with a concentration in public health must initially apply to the Office of s of Old Dominion University. Students cannot be accepted into the B.S.H.S. public health program without first being admitted to the university. to the University does not constitute admission to the B.S.H.S. public health program. Students are eligible to apply to the B.S.H.S. concentration in the spring semester of their sophomore year after completion of the prerequisite courses with at least a grade of C. Completion of prerequisite courses prior to starting the B.S.H.S. public health program in the fall is required. Students must be accepted to the program before enrolling in any 00 or 00 level required course. Applications must be received by February 1 for admission the following fall. to the program is determined by the Program Director. A minimum grade point average of.00 or higher makes an applicant more competitive. Applicants will be formally notified of admission status in April and be advised by the program director or designee.
