Programs of study encompass the disciplines of physiology, pharmacology, and toxicology with opportunities to concentrate on molecular biology, basic mechanisms of physiologic and pharmacologic processes, specific organ systems, or clinical problems. Graduates of these programs are employed by universities and by a variety of companies in the private sector.

Candidates for the MS or PhD degrees must have a baccalaureate or a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) or equivalent degree from an accredited college or university. Requirements for admission include 1) a grade point average of 3.25 with a BS or MS degree, or ranked in the upper half of the class DVM or equivalent degree; and 2) completion of the Graduate Record Examination with a minimum score of 1100 on the verbal and quantitative portions.

Certain minimum requirements in addition to those required by the Graduate School must be met. For the PhD degree, any undergraduate deficiencies in biologic sciences, chemistry, mathematics, or physics must be resolved early in a program of study.

The graduate programs include fulfillment of course requirements, research skills, and completion of a thesis or dissertation. Faculty of the department may be consulted about specific requirements.
