Program Description
The MS and PhD programs are designed to provide broad training in the specific aspects of veterinary science and related disciplines to prepare students for careers in teaching, research, and service. The degree is a research oriented program emphasizing the acquisition of theoretical understanding of veterinary science and research skills in preparation for a career in teaching and research. The veterinary science degree allows for maximum flexibility within the curriculum. Students design their degree in consultation with a faculty mentor, emphasizing the specialty fields of anatomy, pharmacology or physiology.
The objectives for the Ph.D. level training are to prepare the candidate for a career as an independent investigator (i.e., can compete for federal funds such as NIH and NSF and private foundation grants as the principal investigator).
