Curriculum


MSc in One Health

MSc IN ONE HEALTH PROGRAM CURRICULUM 

The Master of Science degree by Coursework in One Health (MSc in One Health) online learning program of study is characterized by a well-designed set of core courses and a flexible choice of elective courses to meet the demands of the field along with your career goals. The taught component will be instructed exclusively online through our Virtual Learning Environment online learning portal. This coursework can be completed on your own time from any location. Courses will be taught largely by Ross Vet faculty—however, specialist modules may be delivered by our partner institutions.

The MSc degree in One Health requires 45 credits obtained through coursework and a project, leading to the submission of a capstone project. 

CAPSTONE RESEARCH PROJECT

A year-long research component of the MSc degree in One Health curriculum offers students the opportunity to undertake meaningful research on a topic of their choice. The capstone project may be carried out in St. Kitts and Nevis or in other locations, as appropriate, under the supervision of a Ross Vet faculty member. Students choosing to carry out their veterinary research remotely must check in with supervising faculty via email or teleconference, or as agreed on prior to the start of the project. The research component may be desk-based, lab-based, or through fieldwork and will result in the submission of a thesis. An optional, one-week residential component on Ross Vet’s St. Kitts campus will allow the student cohort to share their perspective and dissertation work with the Ross Vet research community.
