Students in soils, hydrology, or ecology who have particular interest in studying the effects of chemicals on the environment may wish to enroll in the Environmental Toxicology Program, a multidisciplinary program administered by the College of Veterinary Medicine.

This doctoraldegree program requires students to complete a core curriculum with either an environmental or toxicological focus, then develop an individual curriculum that combines courses in forestry with courses in toxicology, environmental dynamics, economics, policy and law, waste management, and analytical chemistry.

Before enrolling in this program, students must first be accepted for graduate study in forestry. Applicants must have a bachelor's degree and a minimum 3.0 gradepoint average in sufficient biological, behavioral, and physical sciences to indicate probable success in the program. Admission is approved by the faculty of the Environmental Toxicology Program and the guidance committee must include two faculty from the program.
