Veterinarians are seeing growing demand across diverse sectors, including public health agencies focused on animal and human welfare, as well as organizations responsible for ensuring food safety from production to consumption. There's rising need for veterinary professionals with specialized training in areas like food safety systems, livestock production, transmissible diseases, biological security, research methodologies, and health policy. While a veterinary degree provides essential foundations, it often requires supplementary qualifications to fully address these evolving professional demands. For those pursuing careers in public health, combining a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) with a Master of Public Health (MPH) creates a powerful professional foundation.

Students must be currently enrolled in the professional DVM degree program at the University of Tennessee (DVM students) to enter the dual DVM-MPH program, all requirements for both the DVM and MPH degrees must be met for admission.
DVM students may enroll in the program at any time during years 1 - 3, but progress and time to completion will be affected by when a student starts the dual program and how many courses are satisfactorily completed each semester.
For admission to a graduate program, an international student must have an equivalent 4-year bachelor's degree with at least a 3.00 on a 4.00 scale on all previous coursework or a 3.30 on a 4.00 scale on all previous graduate work. Grading systems other than the 4.00 scale are evaluated, upon receipt of transcripts, in accordance with standard practice. Programs may require a higher average GPA for admission. Applicants with work experience or who are entering graduate study after a number of years away from an educational institution, usually five years, will be given consideration with greater flexibility relative to GPA.
