Overview
A core strength of the graduate educational experience within the Biomedical Sciences (BIMS) PhD and MS Thesis degree programs is the alignment of graduate training with the School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) research strengths by way of curricular training tracks. These training tracks capitalize on the interdepartmental, cross-disciplinary nature of our research strengths, providing faculty with a natural structure for teaching and mentoring graduate students.
Students select a curricular training track based upon their research interests, a planned project, and/or a faculty mentor’s area of research. Building upon common core courses for the program, each curricular training track has required coursework and recommended electives that are designed to build a strong foundational body of knowledge relevant to the student’s specific research focus.
