Program Description
The Department of Veterinary Microbiology and
Pathology has a graduate program leading to M.S.
and Ph.D. degrees with emphasis in microbiology,
pathology, immunology, virology, bacteriology,
and parasitology. Our graduate program involves
an integrated approach which produces independent
investigators who are highly competitive in their
respective fields of biomedical research. The
first component involves course work designed to
provide students an in-depth knowledge of
mechanisms of disease, immunology, biochemistry
and molecular biology, disease agent biology, and
most importantly, a solid framework from which to
perform hypothesis-directed research. The second
component is the research proposal. We do not use
conventional comprehensive written and oral
preliminary examinations. Ph.D. students develop
a research proposal under the direction of a
faculty advisor and committee. A preliminary oral
examination tests students on the rationale and
specifics of the research proposal. The final
exam is an oral defense of the dissertation.
