DVM/MPH Dual Degree Program

In the public health arena, veterinarians hold positions such as directors of public health and environmental health, and are employed by many agricultural and wildlife agencies and organizations. A dual DVM/MPH degree will open up many career opportunities for today’s veterinarian.

The dual DVM/MPH degree requires 36 credits of Public Health courses in addition to completing the veterinary medicine program. This would require an additional six months of study in Grenada plus two summer sessions, including a practicum that may be arranged in various settings.

Students seeking admission to the DVM/MPH program will first be reviewed for acceptance into the veterinary medicine program. Upon acceptance, the Office of Admission will forward the application to the Department of Public Health for review and consideration.

To incorporate the MPH program into the combined degree requirements, the scheduling of DVM terms around the MPH schedule will differ for August-entering students and January-entering students. Students on loans will complete the capstone seminar and final elective during the DVM Term 3. Appropriate schedules will be distributed to students upon acceptance into the dual degree program.
