The Master of Science program aims to familiarize students with research methodologies and equip them for careers demanding higher education. Career paths include roles in veterinary and medical schools, animal science departments, corporate R&D, the U.S. Public Health Service, FDA, USDA, and private sector businesses. Typically, master's candidates must design a study plan culminating in an original research thesis (Plan A). In exceptional cases, with faculty and committee approval, students may opt for a non-thesis track (Plan B).
