The Veterinary Science graduate program aims to cultivate skilled scientists who can think creatively, critically, and independently while mastering modern research techniques. Its core focus involves advancing knowledge about Equidae biology, particularly studying factors influencing horse health and performance across all breeds. As part of its educational commitment, the department provides pre-veterinary advising to help students qualify for U.S. veterinary schools. Graduate studies lead to either Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degrees, complemented by hosting international postdoctoral researchers and visiting scientists annually.

Qualification Requirements
Personal Statement
The applicant should describe their research interests and explain why they wish to pursue a graduate degree in Veterinary Science.
The GRE is not required for admission to this program.
Three letters of recommendation
All applicants meeting the minimum requirements of The Graduate School will be considered for acceptance. Each applicant is considered individually and acceptance into the program depends a great deal on the background and interest of the applicant and our ability to provide a quality program in the area of interest.
Applicants need a strong academic background with undergraduate course preparation in biology, chemistry and mathematics. Students accepted into the program should have an appropriate degree (i.e., in a STEM discipline) from an accredited institution and a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. Applicants with lesser qualifications will be accepted only on the recommendation of a graduate faculty member who is willing to serve as the research advisor for the student and with the approval of our graduate faculty body. For the Graduate School, the minimum acceptable TOEFL score is 550 (paper-based) 213 (computer-based), or 79 (internet-based). The minimum IELTS score is 6.5
