California Residents: An MPVM degree is more affordable than you realize
California residents have good news—the net cost of the highly regarded Master of Preventive Veterinary Medicine is very affordable. For students willing to teach, it can even be revenue neutral for residents.
The listed tuition and fees are offset by grant/scholarship funds as well as “return to aid,” which is a portion of the tuition and fee costs returned to the student, which greatly reduces the total amount paid.
After the available grant/scholarship and return-to-aid funding is allocated, we encourage students who so desire to serve as a teaching assistant (TA). We provide help for the process to find and apply for these positions. A position is not guaranteed, but our MPVM students are usually extremely competitive in this area.
Serving as a TA at 25% time or more covers all in-state tuition and fee costs, while the program typically covers the professional school costs. TAs also receive a modest living stipend.
You must apply by the priority deadline of January 15 to be eligible for financial support.
Please check to see if you are eligible to apply for the MPVM Equity Program Application Fee Fellowship. The fellowship, created to support the group’s goal of improving diversity in One Health sciences, will cover the costs of applying to the MPVM program ($135 value).
