Program Description
The veterinary Biomedical Sciences (VBS) Graduate Program is a multidisciplinary program intended to provide a broad base to address individual student interests. The program is administered within the College of Veterinary Medicine but may involve some faculty outside of the College. Programs of research and study leading to the degrees of Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) are available within the broad areas of focus: infectious diseases, pathobiology, physiological sciences and toxicology. The M.S. degree is also available in the clinical sciences. The program is designed to prepare individuals for careers in teaching and research, and specialization is possible within each area, dependent upon faculty interests, student needs, and available funding.
Current areas of research include tick transmitted diseases, bovine infectious diseases, ehrlichiosis, hepatozoonosis, environmental toxicology, antimicrobial activity and disposition, soft tissue infections and phagocytosis, axial skeletal development, marine mammal morphology, snake/spider venom characterization, biology of tendon and ligament repair, regulation of sperm function, laser applications, and equine gastric, orthopedic, and infectious diseases. Additional areas include infectious and parasitic diseases of wild animals, steroid hormone action, reproductive physiology, neosporosis, interferon, immunomodulators, and ruminant pestiviruses. Please visit the College of Veterinary Medicine Research Report for more detailed information about research activities within the college.
Admission Requirements
To be considered for admission to the graduate program the applicant must submit official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate course work, GRE scores, three letters of recommendation indicating academic potential, a Statement of Purpose or essay discussing intended academic and professional goals as well as areas of specialization. All information is taken into consideration in determining the admissibility of the applicant.
Financial Aid
The Department awards a limited number of Teaching and Research Assistantships. The application form for assistantships is included in the departmental admissions packet. Acceptance into the graduate program does not presume that financial assistance will be awarded. Teaching and Research Assistantships are awarded competitively to the strongest applicants whose applications are received by February 1.
