technical and professional demands of careers dedicated to the
protection of human health and the environment. Graduates of

multidisciplinary teams of professionals as Environmental
Health Managers. At all levels, the program embraces
the broad environmental ethic of sustainability through human
cooperation with nature, including basic rights to a safe home
