Veterinary Parasitology (MPS)
Cornell University · Ithaca, United States
About this programme
The master of professional studies (MPS) in veterinary parasitology is a one-of-a-kind flexible enriched virtual based program that can be completed over one to four years. It combines coursework with clinically oriented hands-on labs and a capstone project in the student’s area of interest. Veterinarians, professionals in the veterinary and animal health field, technicians and pre-veterinary students will gain an in-depth understanding of the impact of parasites on pets, production animals and wildlife, especially in the face of growing treatment challenges, emerging zoonoses and expanding distributions of parasites and vector-borne diseases. Concentrations in clinical, research and conservation parasitology enable students to specialize within the broader veterinary parasitology field. Graduates of the MPS program will be competitive for upper-level positions in industry, federal and state government, academia, and other graduate level studies, with many students continuing their education in a veterinary or doctorate-level setting.
