The MPS degree provides rigorous training in all aspects of parasitology via in-depth, comprehensive courses, hands-on laboratories, interaction with parasitologists working in academia and industry, and the development of a final capstone project in an area of interest for the student.
Those with an interest in animal and veterinary sciences will receive expert guidance, and professionals in industry, government, or non-governmental organizations are encouraged to take advantage of the program’s flexible nature.
Parasitology courses and labs are offered in a hybrid online and residential format that is friendly to the working professional. The program can be completed in one to four years. 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.
