Environmental Toxicology Minor Program
Department of Biological Sciences | Faculty of Science
丁香园AV Calendar 2012 Spring
This program provides a thorough overview of environmental toxicology. Students who complete this program will be better qualified and eligible for employment with various industrial and governmental agencies that are engaged in environmental monitoring and research.
Students who are interested in an environmental toxicology minor should contact the department early.
