Undergraduate Majors and Minors
Gain the tools to protect animals, people, and the environment.
Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences is the home for in-demand, science-based degrees focused on animal and human health. We train future biomedical professionals and conduct pioneering research in four primary areas: animal diagnostics, immunology and infectious disease, molecular toxicology and carcinogenesis, and veterinary extension. With a solid foundation achieved in their undergraduate program, our students often go on to graduate school to pursue advanced degrees.
Majors and Minors
Immunology and Infectious Disease Major
The Immunology and Infectious Disease program explores invading pathogens and the body’s complex network of defenses that protect us from those invaders—the immune system. We study the role of drugs and vaccines, investigate the epidemiology of infectious disease, and conduct pioneering research targeting healthier outcomes.

Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences Major
The Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences program prepares students for acceptance into veterinary, medical, and graduate schools or immediate entry into a rewarding career in the biomedical sector. The course of study is a rigorous, science-centered approach to your undergraduate education. Animal, human, and environmental health are best understood when studied together. Our One Health approach accounts for the interconnectivity of these disciplines.
