It's an honor to have a highly regarded school for environmental studies located in the United States and especially Texas, a state which also saw devastation by Hurricane Katrina. The United States has begun to budget financially for more research and study into environmental problems. There have been some exciting developments in harnessing the wind and sun into energy to run corporation's energy needs. They have discovered how to transform garbage into energy and pipe it into facilities to use it to clean water and to produce steam to run machinery. This means no polluting emissions are released into the atmosphere. It's a small step but it is being done here in the United States with hope of developing the new science in mass use.
The award winning health and environmental program at Texas Tech has research programs with emphasis in the following areas:
"Analytical Toxicology
Aquatic Toxicology
Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology
Bio-terrorism Countermeasures
Environmental Law and Policy
Epidemiology
Human Health Sciences
Modeling and GIS
Non woven and Advanced Materials
Eco toxicology"[1]

This is a very exciting time to consider an advanced degree in Environmental studies. New developments are likely to be discovered at a fast pace with the emphasis in research. Perhaps you will be the next scientist that works on a solution to resolve an environmental problem that results in a cleaner atmosphere.
Post doctoral positions in environmental studies are involved even today in research and study into ways to change our environment.
