The outstanding and well-established M.P.H. degree program has been offered to M.D. students as a simultaneous degree since 1986, and to veterinary students since 1994. The program is designed to prepare veterinary students for a career in public health, or to better apply the principles of epidemiology and public health to more traditional forms of practice or research. Interested applicants must apply separately to each program and meet the respective admissions criteria of each. Tuition is paid separately to each school and financial aid also is awarded separately.
Applicants initiate both programs simultaneously during the fall semester of first year.
