Environmental and Occupational Health is one of eight thematic areas of study within Simon Fraser University's Health Sciences Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Arts, offered by the Faculty of Health Sciences rather than as a separate credential. Students examine how environmental and workplace conditions affect population and individual health, including ‘globalization and industrialization impacts on the health of the environment, populations, and workers’ and ‘environmental hazards in consumables (food, air, and water) and waste (liquid, solid, and gaseous) with special reference to hazardous waste’, alongside risk assessment in community, workplace, and residential settings. The theme draws on the Health Sciences program's wider curriculum, which spans cellular, molecular, and behavioural mechanisms underlying chronic and infectious disease alongside population and public health, health care systems, and social and health policy. Students admitted to the Health Sciences major pursue this theme through elective and upper-division coursework such as HSCI 845, working toward the Faculty's standard Health Sciences degree requirements.
