To prepare innovative, globally-competitive biomedical scientists
committed to the improvement of the health and welfare of animals,
humans, and the environment.
Among the graduate degree programs in the College of Veterinary
Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University, the
Biomedical Sciences graduate program spans the five academic
departments of the College and currently offers the degree options

The Master of Science - Thesis
concentration and Doctor of Philosophy degree options
provide an academic and research experience that educates students
in cross-disciplinary biomedical sciences research areas such as
those listed below, preparing individuals to excel in a research
career in an academic, government, or private laboratory:
Biomedical
Genomics, Genetics, and Bioinformatics
Physiology, Pharmacology, and Cardiovascular
Sciences
Infectious Diseases, Biodefense, and
Immunology
Neuroscience, Anatomy, and Functional
Imaging
Reproductive Biology, Development, and
Epigenetics
Toxicology, Environmental Health Science, and Food
Safety
Oncology, Cell Biology, Stem Cell Research, and
Microscopic Imaging
Epidemiology and Public Health

Additionally, a Master of
Science - Non-Thesis concentration is designed for
students preparing to enter a health and life sciences program of
study to earn an MD, DDS, DVM, or other professional degree or gain
employment as a high school or community college educator or other
professional position. Students with undergraduate degrees in
biomedical sciences, biology, animal sciences, and numerous other
fields of study will find the Master of Science - Non-Thesis
concentration to be an excellent opportunity to enhance their
knowledge base for success in the future.
