Admission Requirements
Applicants for admission to the Veterinary Clinical Sciences programs must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (A = 4.0). Graduate programs are usually combined with clinical training programs. Internship and residency training programs are filled through the Veterinary Intern and Residency Matching Program of the American Association of Veterinary Clinicians. A Non-resident (DVM) graduate program is available with department approval.
Program Description
- The Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences has a graduate program leading to an M.S. and Ph.D. degrees with emphasis in several areas: anesthesia, radiology, small animal surgery, small animal internal medicine, small animal neurology, cardiology, oncology, equine surgery, equine medicine, clinical pathology, theriogenology, and agricultural animal.
- The Residency/Master of Science is a 3-year program including clinical training to satisfy various specialty board requirements. Ph.D. could possibly be completed in 3 years, but a 5-year study plan is the recommended program. This program will meet the requirements of most specialty boards.
Non-Resident (DVM) Graduate Students may follow a program with the same objectives as the Resident or a more research-oriented plan. These options are subject to the student's graduate committee approval. The successful candidate should be expert in a specialized area of veterinary clinical science. A portion of the requirements for specialty boards may be included in the program.
Students who are not Residents, but rather are interested in pursuing graduate studies leading to the master's or doctoral degree, must apply to the Graduate School at the university for the degree to which they intend to pursue. A faculty advisor or sponsor must be included in the student's application. Following admission, the student must register with the Resident and Graduate Student Training Committee.
