Course Overview

The DVM/MSc dual-degree program is designed for veterinary medical students with a desire to combine their passion for animal health care with original, thesis-oriented research. With the addition of an MSc graduate degree, you can pursue a specialized career in advanced veterinary medicine research.

The DVM/MSc dual-degree program goes beyond a veterinary degree to give students the opportunity to conduct active and original bench and field research in nine majors:

  • Anatomy
  • Anatomical Pathology
  • Aquatic Animal Health
  • Bacteriology
  • Clinical Pathology
  • Parasitology
  • Pharmacology
  • Small Animal Clinical Sciences
  • Large Animal Clinical Sciences
  • Virology
  • Wildlife Medicine

Students in the dual degree program will typically spend one additional term in Grenada to complete all MSc requirements, either by adding a term before entering DVM Term 1 or by splitting a DVM term.

The MSc requires completion of 34 graduate credits as prescribed by the program. Under the supervision of an academic advisor and a supervisory committee, students prepare a research project proposal. Once approved, an ongoing research experience is conducted throughout the period of enrollment in the degree program. The program culminates with a final, comprehensive oral examination and thesis defense.

The selected major determines the research area and graduate coursework requirements for the completion of the program.
