Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine offers two interdisciplinary programs designed to equip you with an in-depth understanding of the principles and issues associated with One Health. The MSc in One Health degree program begins annually in September, while the Certificate in One Health program accepts students for each January, May, and September start.

MSc in One Health

The MSc in One Health degree program can be completed in one year with full time study, or two-three years with part time study. The program is taught though online coursework with a capstone project and an optional one-week residency on St. Kitts with access to our four research centers.

Why should I study One Health?

One Health is a movement that gains strength every year, as scientists, public health officials, medical and veterinary professionals, and more realize how much all of their work is intertwined. Both our graduate certificate and degree programs provide an opportunity to recognize, evaluate, and solve for complex health issues associated with One Health on local, regional, national, and global scale.

What will I learn?

You’ll gain an in-depth view into:

  • Using the One Health approach in a variety of professional settings
  • Interventions that can prevent zoonotic disease spread and improve animal, human, and environmental health
  • One Health advocacy in public health, policy, and law
  • Research and diagnostic methods
  • The interaction of conservation medicine/ecosystem health with human and animal health
  • Food safety within a One Health context
  • Disaster preparedness methods
  • The role of culture and socioeconomic factors in the spread of zoonotic diseases
  • Disease investigation and outbreak management

Who are these programs best-suited for?

Both programs are well-suited for those working in public health, veterinary medicine, human medicine, environmental/conservation health, biomedical sciences and research, and education.

You need a bachelor’s degree (or international equivalent) in biological, biomedical, environmental or ecological sciences, or a professional veterinary or medical qualification.
