Application Information and Deadlines

  1. Follow the general D.V.M. application process, ensuring you complete the D.V.M./M.P.H. section of the Colorado Supplemental Application.
  2. Once admitted to the D.V.M./M.P.H. program you must submit required documentation to the Colorado School of Public Health.

If you indicate you wish to be considered for the combined D.V.M./M.P.H. program (on the Colorado Supplemental Application), your application will additionally be considered in the regular D.V.M. admissions pool. When decisions are released, if you receive an OFFER to the D.V.M./M.P.H. program, you will not be further considered in the regular DVM admissions pool, regardless of whether or not you accept or decline the D.V.M./M.P.H. offer. If you are denied or designated as an alternate for the D.V.M./M.P.H. program, your application will be considered in the regular D.V.M. admissions pool.

If you withdraw your acceptance to the D.V.M./M.P.H. program before/after matriculation into the graduate program, you will be dismissed from the professional D.V.M. program. You will have to re-apply for admission to the D.V.M. program or the graduate school.

If you obtain Colorado domicile (not the same as “residency”), it is possible to be admitted to the D.V.M. portion of the combined program as a Colorado sponsored student.
