The Biomedical Sciences (BIMS) Graduate Program spans the five
academic departments of the Texas A&M College of Veterinary
Medicine & Biomedical Sciences and offers the degree options of
Doctor
of Philosophy (PhD), Master of Science Thesis Option
(THO) and Master of Science Non-Thesis Option
(NTO).
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.
The graduate student experience involves additional engagement
with professionals and peers through the Graduate Student
Association (GSA), opportunities to develop effective teaching
skills through the Center for Teaching Excellence, and involvement
opportunities in a number of student organizations.
