Toxicologists have the critical responsibility of keeping the public safe from harmful substances found in food, the environment, drugs and other sources. Through research, frequent testing and data collection, toxicologists can help protect and improve the lives
of millions.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment opportunities for toxicologists are expected to grow by 12 percent throughout the next decade.

Offered through St. John’s College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, the 127-credit Bachelor of Science Degree Program in Toxicology provides students with a solid foundation in the theory and practice of the profession, grounded in the natural and biomedical sciences.

Graduates will be prepared for roles in research and applied aspects of clinical, forensic, biomedical, occupational and environmental toxicology. The program also qualifies graduates for careers in risk assessment and public health, while strengthening their ability to contribute as citizens as well as scientists.
