The faculty of the CEHS within the Department of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Department of Chemistry offer training in molecular and cellular toxicology for the Ph.D. and M.S. degrees. Areas of emphasis include immunotoxicology, respiratory toxicology, neurotoxicology, cardiovascular toxicology and genetic toxicology. More detail can be found on degree and course requirements and in the research descriptions of the faculty. The University of Montana has long recognized the importance of diversity in graduate education and continues to be responsive to the shifting and changing career opportunities available to its students. This includes consideration of leading edge research, as well as job markets (academia, industry, government and other opportunities in the public and private sectors).

The research facilities within the CEHS are state-of-the-art with dedicated staff scientists available for providing training in novel technologies. Planned expansion of the research space and continual addition of new faculty further enhance the overall research environment and national status of all investigators and trainees. The friendly, collaborative nature of the faculty facilitates students and faculty to concentrate on learning and research. The graduate program emphasizes one-on-one faculty-student interactions, provides various mechanisms for obtaining feedback and support, and offers the students many opportunities.

Extensive research and graduate training funding along with the research facilities provide students with overall resources to conduct research at the highest levels. This combined with the unique environment of living in the beautiful Western Montana mountain region form a training environment that is rich and rewarding.
