Comparative Biomedical Sciences (Ph.D.) with an Area of Emphasis in Pathology was developed to train the next generation of veterinary and biomedical scientists and pathologists. The program emphasizes training in pathology and biomedical science to prepare students to make contributions to modern veterinary science and medicine. Graduates of these programs will understand the basic scientific principles related to veterinary pathology and biomedical research. The objective is to attract and train a cadre of highly qualified graduate students in the veterinary and biomedical sciences.
