The College of Veterinary Medicine produces not only well-trained veterinary clinicians and researchers, but also generates new knowledge through research in many areas of biomedical sciences.

Institutions of higher learning
produce two primary products: the creation of new knowledge through
research and graduates who put this knowledge to work in society
to enhance personal development, the quality of life, and the
operation and productivity of our businesses, government, and
other institutions. The College of Veterinary Medicine produces
not only well-trained veterinary clinicians and researchers,
but also generates new knowledge through research in many areas
of biomedical sciences.
Dean Joseph W. Alexander
firmly believes that teaching and research are inseparable. A
complete scholar not only teaches a modern, up-to-date course
through library research and preparation but also conducts and
directs active laboratory or clinical research. Research compliments
good teaching by stimulating the intellect and maintaining the
inquisitive nature of the scholar. Research is an essential component
of scholarship in the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Research in the College is varied and diverse both in its nature and the systems studied. The College faculty itself is diverse: many hold a Ph.D. degree instead of or in addition to a DVM degree. Similarly, students involved in College research programs may be in the professional DVM program or may be MS/PhD graduate students. Research programs themselves range from molecular to clinical, and address problems as varied as animal health and human biomedical research.
