Description
Admission to the MS in Conservation Medicine (MCM) program is based on an evaluation and recommendation by the MCM Admissions Committee. An interview may be required. Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine’s dean admits applicants from these recommendations.
Applicants must have completed the equivalent of a bachelor's degree at an accredited college or university. Additionally, candidates must successfully complete the following course work prior to enrolling at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, but not necessarily prior to applying to the program. All prerequisite coursework must be college or university level.
An advanced degree is not required to apply. Students should have attained a broad-based education and range of experience, ideally including international or cross cultural exposure and the ability to work collaboratively. Good communication skills, foreign language skills, and writing skills are highly desirable. Non-veterinarians are encouraged to apply.
