Introduction to the many ways disease can be caused in the body, how they happen and, in some cases, how they can be prevented.

Designed for students entering veterinary medical fields or animal/poultry science/production to learn and understand the basic terminology used in veterinary medicine. Taught by veterinary pathologists, the learning experience will be augmented by visual examples, including fresh tissue specimens and gross and microscopic lesions.

Students will learn pattern recognition of normal tissue and organ structure (histology), correlation of tissue architecture with normal physiologic function, and comparison to microscopic processes observed in disease (histopathology). Comparative histology of human and animal tissues and across fundamental disease processes, such as inflammation, necrosis, and neoplasia will be emphasized.

One Health is the collaborative integration of human, veterinary, and environmental sciences to attain optimal health for people, animals, and our environment. This course examines the key concepts of the One Health Initiative and the benefits of utilizing an interdisciplinary approach to disease prevention and elimination.

Introduces students to substantive issues and knowledge to pursue a career in health-related science.

Faculty-supervised service-learning capstone project for students pursuing the undergraduate certificate in One Health. Provides students the opportunity to engage in inquiry into an area highlighting a One Health approach to solving a disease problem. Students will be expected to apply theoretical knowledge acquired in their seminars and coursework in a real-life setting. Students will work closely with their faculty mentor(s) to identify a project, create a proposal, gather information/data, analyze results, create a project summary, and present their findings to others.

A comparative and evolutionary perspective on the origins and pathogenesis of disease. Topics include: Darwinian medicine, pathology, natural selection and infectious disease, evolution of host defenses, evolutionary models of cancer, selective breeding and disease susceptibility, and relationships between diet and toxins. Diseases of both man and animals will be studied.

Designed to help students entering veterinary medical fields or animal production learn the common diseases of production animals. The course focuses on infectious, toxic, nutritional and metabolic conditions, as well as important neoplastic and congenital conditions that impact animal production. Learning is augmented through clinical case material.

Gives students an overview of the basic mechanisms of disease in Veterinary Medicine.

A directed study in one of the basic sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine. Includes library and laboratory learning experiences not otherwise available to undergraduate students. For the research, the student will complete a project under the direction of the professor which includes the writing of the results and the presentation as appropriate.

Faculty-supervised independent or collaborative inquiry into fundamental and applied problems within a discipline that requires students to gather, analyze, and synthesize and interpret data and to present results in writing and other relevant communication formats.
