This program is governed by the rules and regulations adopted by the University Graduate Faculty and the Graduate Council as set forth in the Graduate Faculty Handbook and by additional program policies established by the Graduate Faculty in the College of Veterinary Medicine.

Graduate study at the K-State College of Veterinary Medicine prepares trainees to become independent scientists engaged in basic, applied or clinical research.

The graduate programs emphasize flexibility, and allow students to pursue classroom and laboratory training in various departments and colleges across the K-State campus. The K-State faculty is committed to a student-centered research environment. Our successful graduate students continue on to careers in academia, industry or government service.
