Academic Programs
The Biomedical Sciences (BIMS) undergraduate degree program educates students who will create a healthier future for humans and animals through the medical professions, biomedical innovation and discovery, global service, and outreach.
Programs in Biomedical Sciences (BIMS), Science & Technology Journalism (STJR), and Veterinary Public Health & Epidemiology (VPHE) allow students to learn from face-to-face interactions with mentors, engage in cutting-edge research, develop lifelong mentor-mentee relationships, and balance wellness with a goal-driven work environment.
The Texas A&M Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree program is one of the oldest, largest, and most prestigious programs of its kind in the United States, with more than 9,380 graduates who proudly call themselves Aggie veterinarians.
Internships & Residencies
The VMBS offers internships and residency programs in several clinical disciplines for veterinarians seeking advanced training and board certification. Internships for newly graduated veterinarians are one year in duration, while residencies are three- or four-year programs. Residents have generally already completed an internship. These trainees are exposed to numerous specialties and work side-by-side with experts in their fields in the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH). Residents may apply to one of several different areas of specialty. Most internships rotate through different specialties, but there are some specialty internship programs.
The Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences (VLCS) offers a rotating internship and residency programs in four clinical specialties.
The Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences (VSCS) offers five internships and eight residency programs.
VTPB offers three-year residencies in anatomic pathology, clinical pathology, and comparative medicine.
Graduate Programs
The Biomedical Sciences (BIMS) graduate degree program equips purpose-driven, scientifically minded people to make an impact by providing a student-centric graduate educational experience that produces innovative, creative, and career-ready biomedical scientists.
The Science & Technology Journalism (STJR) graduate degree program prepares students for careers as writers and editors in science, technology, and medicine, with coursework in both science journalism and science.
The Veterinary Public Health & Epidemiology (VPHE) graduate degree program serves society through excellence in research, learning, and outreach, focusing on using basic and applied methods to address problems at the interface of animal and human health.
