DOCTOR OF VETERINARY MEDICINE/MASTER IF SCIENCE (DVM/MSc) DUAL DEGREE PROGRAM

The Doctor of Veterinary Medicine/Master of Science dual degree program gives veterinary medical students the opportunity to conduct active and original bench and/or field research in anatomy, microbiology, morphological and clinical pathology, parasitology, pharmacology, livestock production, marine biology and wildlife conservation medicine.

In this dual degree program students will complete the DVM degree requirements simultaneously with the MSc requirements. This entails spending the first two summers of the four-year veterinary medical program in Grenada in order to meet the coursework requirements for the MSc program.

The MSc requires completion of 34 graduate credits as prescribed by the program. Under the supervision of an academic advisor and a supervisory committee, students prepare a research project proposal. Once approved, an ongoing research experience is conducted throughout the period of enrollment in the degree program. The program culminates with a final comprehensive oral examination and defense of the thesis.

The major selected determines the research area and graduate coursework requirements for the completion of the program.
