Qualification Requirements
The college's other master's degree programs are focused on clinical aspects of a specific field of study and require you to have a DVM.
The CBS program is a research-based training program that is available to students with a BS or BA degree, a DVM is not required.
Applicants must first apply to the UGA Graduate School. Requirements include, but may not be limited to, a statement of interest, resume or CV, all official college transcripts, and 3 letters of recommendation. International students may be required to submit TOEFL or IELTS scores.
Following the completion of the Graduate School application, a CBS supplemental application form must be submitted to the College of Veterinary Medicine by emailing [email protected].
*Please note that you will not be accepted unless you have identified a major professor who is willing to mentor you or you have received a recruitment assistantship.
The GRE is NOT required for admission, however, if you have a recent (within 5 years) GRE score over 300, you are welcome to submit that information. Higher GRE scores may offset lower GPAs.
No two statements are alike. Faculty are most interested with your academic and research background, interest in pursuing the degree, research interests, and professional plans. You should also state whether you will need financial assistance in order to pursue the degree. We suggest no more than 3 pages double-spaced. Most applicants are able to express themselves in two double-spaced pages. If more is needed, that is acceptable.
You should get letters from professors who have taught you and know you well. Their letters should describe your academic work in detail, so that the Graduate Committee can be assured that you can complete a rigorous graduate program. If you have done undergraduate research, the committee will expect a letter from the professor who supervised that work. Letters from work supervisors may be of value to document your work ethic.
Minimum TOEFL score requirement: overall score of 80 with at least 20 on speaking and writing
Minimum IELTS score requirement: overall band-width of 6.5, with no single band (score) below 6.0
