In the health and environment fields, policy decisions are increasingly based on quantitative assessments of the potential health impact of alternative policies. The methods used in these analysis are often grouped under the term “risk assessment”, and are derived from the disciplines of biostatistics, epidemiology, and toxicology. All applicants to the certificate must have a bachelor’s degree in a related field, and strong quantitative skills including undergraduate mathematics through at least one semester of calculus. In addition, applicants must have graduate courses or demonstrated proficiency in either: a) epidemiology and biostatistics; or b) industrial hygiene exposure assessment, or environmental monitoring for human health hazard assessment.
