Comparative Biomedical Sciences
Field Description
The Field of Comparative Biomedical Sciences (CBS) provides students with the opportunity to pursue a MPH or MPS degree at the number one College of Veterinary Medicine in the country (US News and World Report).
Cornell University offers a campus-wide Master of Public Health (MPH) program that creates public health leaders who are inspired, developed, and trained to ensure the health of people, animals, and the world in which we live.
Cornell’s MPH program is founded on the “Planetary Health” paradigm which focuses on the multiple types of relationships connecting humans, animals, and the environment. This paradigm recognizes that we must take a trans-disciplinary approach to public health issues, encourages us to draw from the best practices of complementary disciplines, and allows us to look beyond traditional human health models.
The program is led by experts from multiple fields across the university to reinforce a multidisciplinary approach that prepares graduates to tackle diverse public health issues at the municipal, state, national, and international levels. https://publichealth.cornell.edu/program/
The Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Veterinary Medical Sciences is a new degree program at the College of Veterinary Medicine. The first concentration being offered is Veterinary Parasitology. This MPS program is designed for individuals who seek to enhance their careers with specialized professional training in Veterinary Parasitology. Professionals and workers in industry, government or non-governmental organizations are encouraged to take advantage of the flexible nature of the program. The MPS degree can be completed in one year, and provides rigorous training in all aspects of parasitology at one of the nation’s top Colleges of Veterinary Medicine. The MPS in Veterinary Medical Sciences at Cornell is unique in the country, and provides the opportunity for registered students to:
- Take in-depth and comprehensive courses covering a range of highly relevant topics
- Get hands-on lab experiences, with options to pursue experiences at labs around the country
- Develop and prepare a capstone project
Courses and labs are offered in a hybrid manner (mix of online and residential formats) that is friendly to the working professional. Graduates of the MPS program will be competitive for positions in industry, federal and state government, and academia.
