73 medicine, colleges of engineering, colleges of arts and sciences, and colleges of agriculture. There was, therefore, an extreme diversification among the faculty and the graduate curricula in environmental health. There have been no major conferences or workshops to bring together representatives from institutions offering graduate level environmental health curricula such as there were at the undergraduate level. The National Accreditation Council for Environmental Health Curricula has been concerned that graduate curricula offered outside of schools of public health lacked a common core of subject matter. More particularly, this concern has centered on the lack of a public health orientation in many programs. At the 1974 meeting of the Council, a document presented by the Committee on Graduate Educa- tion was accepted. It outlines the purposes and objectives for the accreditation of graduate curricula in environmental health and guidelines and recommendations for these curricula and their general subject content. At this writing, four graduate programs in environmen- tal health have been accredited: California State University - Northridge, Colorado State University, East Carolina University and East Tennessee University. All are in schools where there are also accredited undergraduate programs.
