BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE IN ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

Rusangu University Environmental Health

INTRODUCTION

Humans interact with the environment constantly. These interactions affect the quality of life, years of healthy life lived and health disparities. Maintaining a healthy environment is central to increasing the quality of life and years of a healthy life. Globally, nearly 25 per cent of all deaths and the total disease burden can be attributed to environmental factors. Environmental factors are diverse and far-reaching. Thus, the philosophy of the Department of Environment Health reflects this interaction and what God intends for human health.

PHILOSOPHY

Science has revolutionized the way of life from primitive hunters and gatherers of firewood to the highly industrialized and technological societies today. Science seeks to equip humanity with better ways of life and healthful living in man’s environment, both at work, in the home and during recreation.

The Department strongly believes that the coherence of the principles of environmental health science and mathematics, the logical consistencies thereof, the power and versatility of these, point to the Omniscient God. The Department believes that the true science emanates from the Omniscient God, the Author and Sustainer of life. God has provided a balanced ecosystem as a special gift of life to all living organisms including a man in a symbiotic order. Science is defined as “the attempt by man to explain nature”. Science points the scholar to the source of wisdom, power and knowledge. The Department believes that man is the true steward who should promote sustainable development in the use of natural resources without adversely affecting the present and future generation. Therefore, maintaining a healthy environment is central to increasing the quality of life and years of a healthy life.
