Cornell University offers Combined DVM/PhD Degree Program.

Combined DVM/PhD Degree Program

The Combined DVM/PhD Degree Program integrates the veterinary and graduate curricula to enable the student to complete both degrees in less time than it would to do them independently.

The Program takes advantage of Cornell's uniquely interdisciplinary environment to merge clinical training at the nation's top-ranked veterinary school with the University's internationally-recognized strengths.

Admissions-

Cornell accepts only a limited number of highly motivated and academically exceptional students each year.

The program encourages applications from a diverse range of candidates, including:

Students with an established interest in veterinary medicine and a concurrent career focus on discovery science and academia

Students with an established interest in biology and a career focus in discovery science and academia, but who have more recently recognized the intellectual benefits provided by an education in veterinary medicine

Admission

Applications to the Cornell Combined DVM/PhD Degree Program are reviewed by two separate admissions committees.

The DVM Admissions Committee first reviews the applicants to determine admissibility to the DVM Program.

The Combined Degree Oversight Committee reviews applications for admissibility to the PhD program. Both committees must agree to support the student before the offer of acceptance is made.
