Overview
Some of the MPH coursework (42 to 46 semester hours, depending on the division) will be completed during the DVM program, including through online courses.
Features
- The fifth year of the Veterinary - Public Health program at University of Illinois at Chicago typically involves on-site courses in Chicago and concludes with a research-based capstone project (integrated learning experience).
- The year in Chicago provides a unique perspective surrounded by public health students in an urban environment with excellent support and mentorship.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Joint-degree students in the epidemiology division spend a minimum of two semesters in residence at the School of Public Health following completion of the professional veterinary curriculum. For those in the other divisions, options exist to complete the entire degree online.
- For applied practice experience (field experience), students can complete the requirements for those credits routinely during their clinical year rotations.
- For the integrated learning experience (capstone), students are encouraged to structure their research project including hypothesis, plan, and any data collection while in residence in Urbana. This allows for data analysis and final presentation of the project during their year in Chicago.
