The DVM-MS in Food Safety provides multidisciplinary training including all aspects of food production and distribution. Veterinarian students are trained in biosecurity, food safety, animal science, quality control, risk management, field epidemiology, disease control, risk communication, and animal welfare.

The MS in Food Safety is also a standalone program.

The online MSU Program in Public Health prepares DVM students for careers in public health agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control, US Food and Drug Administration, Michigan Department of Community Health, and the US Department of Agriculture.

Dual Degrees allow a route for students to pursue veterinary training and graduate training sequentially. In that case, one can complete veterinary school first and then continue with graduate research training, or the reverse order.
