Doctor of Philosophy


The PhD degree in animal science is offered with four specializations. It is available to qualified students with degrees in related disciplines. Exceptionally well-qualified applicants may be considered for admission to a postbaccalaureate PhD program. The PhD degree in bioveterinary science is available to qualified students holding a DVM or a master’s degree in a related discipline, or exceptionally well-qualified postbaccalaureate applicants. The PhD is a terminal research degree that is awarded upon successful completion of a comprehensive program of coursework and original research in an approved area of specialization.

Course Requirements


Course requirements are determined by the student in consultation with and upon agreement by his or her supervisory committee. Depending on the research emphasis selected and the student’s background, these requirements may be different for each student. Students working toward an MS or PhD degree must complete appropriate graduate-level statistics courses, as well as participate in the Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences departmental seminar.

Bioveterinary Science


This degree program involves studies in biochemistry, statistics, pathology, toxicology, virology, parasitology, pharmacology, and microbiology. Advanced techniques in laboratory procedures and animal health research are emphasized. Cooperation with other departments and research centers of the University and with federal collaborators and agencies allows for a strong graduate program in bioveterinary science.
