Environmental health
The name "Environmental Health" was first used in 1947 to identify a new division within the Department of Preventive Medicine. This division included the undergraduate program in Sanitary Science (which was renamed Environmental Health) and an Environmental Research Laboratory.
The environmental emphasis was strengthened in 1963 when the Legislature funded the Environmental Research Laboratory and construction of the F wing.
In 1970, Environmental Health became a department in the new School of Public Health and Community Medicine. A preventive medicine residency program began shortly thereafter. Teaching, research, and service were given equal weight in the early days. The Environmental Health Laboratory (successor to the Environmental Research Laboratory) still supports service, basic research, and student training.
The words "occupational" and "sciences" were added to the Department of Environmental Health's name in 2003, but a focus on both fields dates back half a century.
Occupational health
Since the late 1940s, the Department of Environmental Health has provided industrial hygiene services to the state. In 1963 the Legislature allocated funding to the Department from workers' compensation funds for "the prevention of industrial and occupational disease among workmen, the promotion and protection of safer working environments and dissemination of the knowledge and information acquired..."
In the 1970s the Department began receiving federal training funds from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to serve as regional resources in Occupational safety and health. At that time the Department developed a collaborative relationship with the University's Department of Medicine to run the occupational medicine program, and with the School of Nursing, which administers the occupational health nursing program. Since then, the Department has trained students, conducted research, and provided service in each of these disciplines.
History of ESPM
The Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management is a large multidisciplinary program with internationally recognized faculty engaged in biological, physical, and social research that spans the continuum from basic to applied research – a continuum particularly enhanced by our strong group of cooperative extension specialists.
We offer a portfolio of attractive and rapidly growing undergraduate majors. We have one of the nation’s strongest graduate programs.
Our Roots
ESPM is part of the College of Natural Resources (CNR). CNR, formerly known as the College of Agriculture (established in 1868), is thus the oldest college in the University of California system.

Eugene Hilgard
The College’s foundation of rigorous science coupled with an obligation for the public good was established by the early Dean of the College, Eugene Hilgard[1].
Hilgard was Berkeley’s first member of the National Academy of Sciences, and remains among the campus’s most notable scholars and leaders. By the force of his vision, intellect, and personality, Hilgard helped launch the new discipline of soil science and shepherded the fledgling College of Agriculture to state and national prominence.
Hilgard was also an internationally recognized geologist, viticulturalist, chemist, agronomist, and -upon his arrival at Berkeley – his command of languages was exceeded only by the then Professor of German. It is thus understandable that buildings, streets, and mountains in California are named in honor of Professor Hilgard.
One of the primary motivations of Hilgard was the wise use of resources, a principle that achieved more formal recognition when the College of Agriculture joined the School of Forestry in 1974 to form our present-day College of Natural Resources.
Our Environment, ESPM Today
Following its name change, the College continued to maintain a number of Departments associated with traditional agricultural colleges.
In 1993, several of these disciplinary departments were merged into the inaugural ESPM. Now, more than 15 years into its existence, ESPM is focused on engaging in a critical period in human history, one of enormous global challenge and opportunity.
Our ability to produce and distribute food, maintain the planet’s biodiversity, continue the conservation of our “domesticated” landscapes, and stabilize the Earth’s climate system will all be shaped by decisions we make now.
ESPM faculty and students are engaged in teaching, research, and outreach to help define our future.
