Fields of Graduate Instruction - Comparative Biomedical Sciences

Course offerings and research topics currently include, but are not limited to: cell biology, genomics, infectious diseases, developmental biology, immunology, cardiology, pharmacokinetics, oncology, toxicology, gastroenterology, neuroscience, reproductive physiology, biotechnology, microbiology, aquatic/ wildlife biology, biomedical engineering, endocrinology, molecular biology, pulmonary biology, epidemiology, population medicine, health systems monitoring, transplantation and radiology.

Admission Requirements: All applications are reviewed by the Graduate Studies Committee of the CBS Program, composed of faculty members representing each area of the graduate program and a graduate student representative. Scores from the GRE are required for admission by all applicants. Candidates who do not have a DVM degree must have a baccalaureate degree or advanced degree from a college or university recognized as standard by a regional or general accrediting agency. Students with a 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) undergraduate or DVM curriculum with appropriate course background will be considered for admission.

Doctoral Degree Requirements: Credit hour requirements for the Ph.D. degree are determined by the graduate student's committee with approval of the Director of Graduate Programs and the Graduate School.

Student Financial Support: Research assistantships are awarded to qualified candidates on the competitive basis by the College. These are for 12-month periods, and stipends are competitive with those of other programs. These positions are funded by the grants of individual faculty members and the state appropriations to the College and departments.

Other Relevant Information: The program is organized as five areas of concentration which include: cell biology, epidemiology/ population medicine, infectious diseases, pathology, and pharmacology. These provide extensive interdisciplinary training and maintain a highly effective liaison with graduate programs in other colleges of the university, as well as those of nearby Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
