Love test noise level. Environmental Health Accelerates The Environmental Health Program at Valley this school year received official accreditation from the National Accreditation Council for Environmental Health Curricula of the National Environmental Health Association. MVSU is now among the select few universities and colleges across the country to hold national accreditation for environmental health curricula. The accreditation made MVSU the first minority institution in the United States as well as the first institution in Mississippi to receive accreditation from the National Environmental Health Association. Valley’s five-year-old program began procedures for national accreditation last spring. The university’s application for accreditation was reviewed, followed by a site team visit to survey the MVSU facilities and curriculum. The site visitors were impressed with the quality of the faculty and course offerings. The internships are well developed and provided the student with a variety of options. MVSU environmental health majors in the past have participated in internship programs at Delta Medical Center in Greenville, Baxter’s Laboratories, Inc., in Cleveland, Delta Health Center in Mound Bayou and the Mississippi State Board of Health. 75
