One Health is an inherently interdisciplinary field, and there is no preferred background to succeed in the program. UAF welcomes applications from individuals who have backgrounds in natural or social science, health care, education and a broad array of work and life experiences. Because the One Health Master’s focused on challenges in the circumpolar North, the degree will be of particular interest to individuals throughout that area; however, the concepts, tools and techniques that will be learned and practiced within the program can be applied to One Health challenges in any location.

Applications will close on June 1 each year and newly admitted students will enter the program in the fall semester. The OHM review committee will make final decisions on admissions. The OHM review committee will consist of representatives from both the social and natural sciences.
