    St. George’s University helps veterinary students gain the business skills they need to make their practices thrive with a uniquely focused DVM/MBA dual-degree program that includes an MBA in multi-sector health management.

    Veterinarians must learn new skills in animal care throughout their careers while managing staff, assessing financial performance, marketing their practice, and addressing information technology needs.

    An MBA in Multi-Sector Health Management is a 14-month, 34-credit program that can help improve your business skills while promoting an understanding of the complexities of operating a veterinary practice.

    To earn an MBA graduate degree in tandem with the DVM degree, you’ll experience a mix of blended learning options. Our MBA courses are taught primarily online, with short residencies at our Caribbean campus in Grenada.
