Three certificate programs are offered by the Department of Environmental Health Sciences. Each program requires the completion of five courses.
This program educates and trains students to identify major environmental health issues facing public health professionals today. Courses explore the sources of environmental agents, their distribution in community and work environments, transfer routes to humans and possible health effects; the basic biological mechanisms underlying the association between prior exposure and subsequent development of adverse health effects; and control strategies and interventions. The program is intended for public health professionals currently practicing environmental/occupational health who are seeking formal training; current degree candidates at the School, and non-degree candidates who want to begin their formal training in environmental health. A selection of online courses is available for students who wish to pursue the certificate via the internet.

This Program is designed for students with an interest in the key linkages between human rights ideals, legal guarantees of human rights and the protection of public health, and is open to any JHSPH degree candidate. The certificate program provides the framework to begin developing the skills for investing, analyzing and documenting abuses of human rights as they relate to health and public health practice.

This program provides students with an understanding of the principles that govern the relationship between biomedical researchers and laboratory animals; demonstrates the application of transgenic, in-vitro, computational, non-mammalian and non-animal research in toxicology; and illustrates the ways in which humane science and alternatives are used in setting regulatory standards and making environmental health policy decisions. The program is open to persons who hold undergraduate or graduate degrees in public health or the biomedical sciences. It is also open to any student in a degree-granting program at the University, although it is anticipated that most enrollees will be students at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. Persons who are members of Institutional Animal Care and Use committees (IACUC) and/or involved in animal welfare issues are encouraged to participate in this certificate program.
