GRADUATE PROGRAM IN VETERINARY MEDICAL SCIENCE
(4) The Urbana Senate recommends authorization of a new graduate program
leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Veterinary
Medical Science. This program has been approved by the Executive
Faculty of the Graduate College and will replace an existing program in Veterinary
Pathology and Hygiene. Its objective, in the interest of more effective,
expanded, and diversified graduate training, is to combine the professional departments
of the College of Veterinary Medicine into a single department in
the Graduate College integrating its work with that of the veterinary research
program already organized under the Department of Veterinary Research in the
Agricultural Experiment Station. The Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine
will be the head of this graduate department. The program will be open
not only to students holding the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree but also
to those having a Bachelor of Science degree with appropriate undergraduate
preparation.
There is submitted herewith a statement giving the details of this program,
including the requirements for admission and for the degrees, a copy of which
is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record.
I recommend approval.
