Professional Degree Programs in Medical Geology at NSUK
We are excited to share the news about the approval and establishment of professional degree programs in Medical Geology at Nasarawa State University (NSUK), Keffi, Nigeria. The NSUK Academic Senate unanimously approved the creation of these new academic programs offered by the NSUK Jose A. Centeno International Medical Geology Research Centre. The programs include:
- Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) in Medical Geology
- Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Medical Geology
- Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Medical Geology
These programs aim to provide advanced education and training in environmental health and medical geology, addressing both local and global challenges.
The center also facilitates on-site and online capacity-building initiatives and tailored curriculum development to address regional priorities.
Congratulations to Professor Nghargbu K’TSO and colleagues from NSUK for achieving this milestone.
