Take your career as a veterinary educator to the next level with Lincoln Memorial University's Master of Veterinary Education (MVed) program! We've designed our MVEd program specifically for current Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) faculty or veterinary practitioners seeking advanced training in the foundations of education. Our program will assist you in improving the quality of veterinary education through increasing awareness and overall knowledge of educational research, theory and evidence-based teaching practices within the veterinary profession.
Though the individual curricular topics will be related to veterinary medicine, this is an education degree, and both the subject matter and objectives will focus on advancing your educational research, theory and evidence-based teaching practices. If you are interested in pursuing a career as a veterinarian, please explore the Master of Science in Veterinary Biomedical Science (VBMS) program.
