U of Mizzou: Veterinary Master of Public Health Program

UNIVERSITY of MISSOURI

Dear Mizzou Veterinary Applicant:
I am writing you today to inform you about a unique educational opportunity at the University of Missouri's Veterinary Master of Public Health program. The Veterinary Master of Public Health is offered as a dual degree program (DVM/MPH) or as a standalone program.
This program may be of interest to you for several reasons including:

1. The MU veterinary admissions committee looks favorably upon applicants that are working on or have completed a graduate degree;
2. Several courses for the MPH program are shared courses with the DVM curriculum;
3. Nonresident students can claim residency in Missouri after twelve months. This not only decreases the cost of tuition, but you can also apply for vet school in the Missouri resident pool;
4. We are one of five veterinary MPH programs accredited by CEPH (Council on Education for Public Health); and
5. Graduates are in high demand for both public and private sector careers.

I have enclosed an informational pamphlet about the program or you can find more information at www.publichealth.missouri.edu. Please contact me if you have any questions or wish to begin the application process.

Sincerely

Loren Schultz DVM, MS, DACVPM
