Biological and Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program
Program Information
The Dual Degree Program is designed to provide students with the resources and support necessary to succeed in the program and in their subsequent careers.
Program Guidelines: DVM-PhD Guidelines 2013
Financial Benefits and Guidelines:
DVM/PhD degree students will receive substantial financial
incentives to complete both degrees. Stipends will be paid during summer
laboratory rotations and throughout the PhD portion of the program. Tuition and
fees will be paid during the PhD portion of the program, but the student will be
responsible for these costs during the time they are enrolled in the DVM
curriculum. Tuition paid as a DVM student, not including interest on loans, will
be reimbursed upon completion of the DVM/PhD program. Health insurance, through
Cornell's SHIP (Student Health Insurance Plan), will be provided throughout the
seven years of training.
