Graduate Study. The Graduate Group in Comparative
Pathology offers the M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees for graduate study in disciplines concerned
with disease processes. The group’s focus is the
study of the causes and nature of disease processes
in animals and humans, with major emphasis on the
mechanisms responsible for the development of diseases
at the level of organ systems, the cell, or subcellular
mechanisms. The group brings a wide array
of scientific knowledge to this study, so that students
with divergent interests can be accommodated in
programs designed for individual needs. Beyond
core courses selected from disciplines such as anatomy,
bacteriology, genetics, immunology, parasitology,
pathology, physiology, and virology, course
programs are intentionally flexible.
Preparation. This program is primarily for students
who have a professional medical degree, e.g.,
D.V.M., M.D., D.D.S. Students without a professional
degree will be considered if they have an
especially strong background in basic biomedical
sciences.

The Major Program
The computer science major prepares students for
careers involving the design of computer systems
and their application to science, industry, and management.
The Program. Students taking this major receive
solid grounding in fundamentals of computer languages,
operating systems, computer architecture,
and the mathematical abstraction required to use the
computer in solving complex tasks. For students interested
in the engineering aspects of computer science,
see Engineering: Computer Science, on page
233.
Career Alternatives. The computer science program
prepares students for advanced work in computer
science or in other disciplines requiring
advanced knowledge of the use of computers.
