Among the graduate degree programs at the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM), the Biomedical Sciences (BIMS) graduate program spans the five academic departments of the College and currently offers the degree options of Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). There are additional departmental and interdisciplinary programs of study to fit a variety of interests. The Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences offers two additional programs of study, Master of Science & Technology Journalism (STJR) and Master of Veterinary Epidemiology and Public Health (VPHE). The interdisciplinary program of Toxicology has close ties to the CVM through which students may pursue a Masters or PhD degree.

A major objective of graduate education through any CVM graduate degree is to emphasize critical thinking, creativity, analysis, and good scientific judgment. The CVM faculty members accomplish this by fostering a classroom and laboratory atmosphere that is investigatory, challenging, confidence-building, and scholarly. Beyond the extensive mentorship available from graduate faculty members active in ongoing research projects, students participate in CVM and Texas A&M-sponsored symposia and conferences, as well as regional and national meetings.
