Admission to Comparative Biomedical Sciences
The
programs in the Field of Comparative Biomedical Sciences leading
to the Ph.D. degree are designed to prepare graduates for positions
in research and teaching, primarily in the medical sciences. The
conduct of independent research is an essential feature of training,
and a commitment to the pursuit of research is expected.
Most applicants who are admitted hold at least
one advanced degree and have attained superior academic standing
as undergraduates.
For admission to the programs in pathology and
clinical areas of study, a D.V.M. is required. D.V.M. applicants
should apply to the D.V.M.-Graduate
Research Assistantship Program concurrently with their application
to the Field.
