As the national public health goals shift toward environmentally focused objectives, our programs in public health/health education need to follow so that the professionals of tomorrow will be prepared for the future. As health professionals, we need to further our understanding of the affect that environment has on health status. The purpose of this study was threefold: 1) the study examined how many universities with public health or health education related (i.e. community health, health sciences, etc.) programs offered environmental health courses; 2) the study examined the number of programs that offered graduate level degrees in environmental health; and 3) the study examined the number of faculty who conducted research in environmental health at institutions with public health or health education related programs. A national random sample of 128 universities, who awarded graduate degrees in public health or health education related areas, participated in the study via telephone interview. Results indicated that only 28% of universities offered a course in environmental health at the graduate level in their public health/health education program. Of the 28% of programs who offered a course in environmental health, only 61% of programs required the course. Results indicated that only 6% percent of institutions surveyed offered degrees specializing in environmental health, and only 10% had faculty on staff that had conducted research in environmental health. The importance and impact that environmental health has on a person’s behavior warrants the inclusion of studies in environmental health on the graduate level in any public health/health education program.
