Graduate programs in the Department of Biomedical Sciences are designed for motivated students who have the ability to develop critical thinking and conduct research in selected areas of study. Graduate coursework, research, seminars, graduate student presentations and teaching opportunities provide the foundation of the Biomedical Sciences graduate program. Graduate programs leading to the PhD and Masters degrees offer a wide range of graduate training opportunities in the biomedical sciences to include: anatomy, neurobiology, reproductive biology and equine reproduction with a variety of course/thesis options. A combined DVM/PhD degree program is available through the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and interdisciplinary programs are available through the Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology Laboratory, Program in Cell and Molecular Biology and Program in Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Neurosciences.
Two types of Masters degree are offered within the department. The MS-A program is a traditional, research-based program requiring coursework and a research thesis. The MS-B program involves coursework and a comprehensive final examination or a final research paper. Departmental requirements for these degrees are specifically outlined in the Graduate Student Document-Appendix IV of the Department of Biomedical Sciences Code.
