ECOLOG- Might I also suggest looking into Public Health programs (PH). I'm currently enrolled in the MPH in Environmental Health Sciences program at Georgia Southern University and we cover many of the topics mentioned in this discussion. PH offers professional training to individuals interested in bridging the gaps between science, policy, and the public. Typically, there are five concentrations within PH: Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Community Health, Policy and Management, and Environmental Health Sciences.
