Master of Science [M.S] [Environmental Toxicology] From University of California

The program is designed to teach students the scientific principles of toxicology and it focuses primarily upon the biology, chemistry, and mechanisms by which xenobiotics and natural toxins interact with the biosphere, including humans. Studies on mechanisms of toxicity complement research directed towards understanding the movement of toxics through soil, water, and air and for the development of procedures to reduce pollution and clean up contaminated sites.

Students enrolled in the graduate program are expected to complete a core set of courses in toxicology. The objectives of the core curriculum are to provide specific education in the environmental, organismal and sub-organismal aspects of toxicology, and to develop research skills and critical faculties in the area of environmental toxicology.?
