The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) offered at Drexel University Dornsife School of Public Health is an advanced research doctorate program that equips students with the skills to identify, examine, and respond to important environmental and occupational health challenges.This doctorate program trains students with the skills necessary to perform scientifically rigorous research to address pressing environmental and occupational health issues. Graduates of our STEM-designated program are well-prepared to assume leadership roles as public health scientists, researchers, and educators.Current Drexel Dornsife students pursuing a PhD in environmental health are focused on climate change-related environmental exposures, chronic psychological stressors, and water quality, among other research interests.

The Center for Air, Climate, and Energy Solutions is a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research center to address critical questions at the nexus of air, climate, and energy. The center design addresses overarching themes of regional differences, multiple pollutants, and development and dissemination of tools for air quality impact assessment. Novel measurement and modeling approaches will be applied to understand spatial and temporal differences in human exposures and health outcomes. We will investigate a range of technology and policy scenarios for addressing our nation’s air, climate, and energy challenges, and test their potential ability to meet policy goals such as improved health outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
