MBA, Professional DVM

This combined degree completion pathway is intended for individuals who are in the process of earning a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree at Lincoln Memorial University. The objective of the MBA portion of the pathway is to stress the student’s role as manager and leader, while providing a foundational knowledge in business to complement the corresponding professional degree.

The MBA portion of the pathway begins with a summer session of four (4) three (3) credit hour core courses. The courses taken within the first summer term consist of MBA 545, 550, 570, & 575. These courses are offered in an online format. Students will then take an additional four (4) core courses and two (2) electives in an online format throughout the remainder of their professional program. DVM/MBA students will complete the General MBA or concentrated MBA curriculum.

The DVM/MBA combined degree pathway does not allow for any double-counted credit hours. LMU limits eligibility for this pathway to exceptional students who meet the enrollment criteria. Students are still required to meet the student learning outcomes (SLOs) for each program, so the quality and integrity of both programs are not jeopardized.

Note: This combined degree completion pathway is available to students enrolled in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program at the LMU main campus (Harrogate, TN).
