MS - Scienze Mediche Veterinarie (MS-VMS)

A number of graduate programs are available through the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine, providing advanced educational opportunities for students in a broad range of biomedical and veterinary sciences. Students may pursue an MS or Ph.D. in Veterinary and Biomedical Science (VBMS) or a Ph.D. in Environmental Toxicology (ENVT). The goal of the VBMS and ENVT programs is to train the next generation of scientists and educators who will be leaders in biomedical and veterinary research and education.

Faculty in CVM’s Department of Comparative Biomedical Sciences, Department of Clinical Sciences, and Department of Pathobiology & Population Medicine lead each student’s graduate education. Involvement in ongoing research projects conducted by the faculty is an important part of each of these degree programs.

The Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine captures a unique balance of world-class research in animal and public health, high-quality learning experiences, and cutting-edge medical care, all with a family-like atmosphere.

Our passion is to improve the health and well-being of animals for the benefit of the animals, their owners, agribusiness, biomedical research, and, thus, society. We achieve our vision by providing compassionate, world-class health care and diagnostic services and by conducting translational veterinary research (bench to the clinic). We further realize our vision, in part, by investing ourselves in training students and veterinary professionals and encouraging them to embrace and perpetuate our vision. We are driven to accomplish these goals by the knowledge that our calling will better the life of society and the animals entrusted to our care.
