K-State Graduate School
MS of Veterinary Biomedical Science
Overview:
The Master of Veterinary Biomedical Science is a College of
Veterinary Medicine-based program leading to an MS degree. Graduate
study may be inter-disciplinary or focused in one of the three
participating disciplines: Anatomy & Physiology; Clinical Sciences;
Pathobiology. Each student’s program will be designed by his/her
supervisory committee to support the student’s thesis project,
educational and career goals.
Participating Disciplines:
Anatomy and Physiology
The disciplinary concentration in Anatomy & Physiology is focused on
hypothesis-driven research in cellular and integrative physiology
and pharmacology. Research strengths include: cardiovascular and
pulmonary physiology, epithelial health and disease,
immunophysiology, and neuroscience.
Clinical Sciences
The disciplinary concentration in Clinical Sciences is focused on
providing veterinarians interested in clinical specialization with
the skills needed to perform basic, applied or clinical research.
Typically, graduate study in Clinical Sciences occurs either
sequentially or simultaneously with a residency program designed to
prepare and qualify a veterinarian for specialty boards recognized
by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).
Pathobiology
The disciplinary concentration in Pathobiology is focused on the
epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, and prevention/control of
infectious and parasitic diseases that affect animals or humans.
Research strengths include: microbiology, pathology, epidemiology,
parasitology and toxicology.
Requirements:
The requirements for admission to and completion of the Master of
Veterinary Biomedical Science are in accordance with those of the
Graduate
School of Kansas State University . Perspective students
interested in the disciplines of Anatomy & Physiology or
Pathobiology are encouraged to have completed undergraduate
coursework in the life sciences, such as animal science, biology,
biochemistry, genetics, and microbiology. Applicants interested in
the discipline of Clinical Sciences must either be working towards
or be in possession of a degree equivalent to Doctor of Veterinary
Medicine.
