The Doctor of Philosophy in Large Animal Clinical Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan is a thesis-based program preparing graduate students to advance knowledge in disease, reproduction, and animal welfare across livestock and specialty species, through research in areas such as epidemiology, surgery, and food safety. The program requires the preparation and defence of a PhD-level thesis with at least three, and generally four or five, research chapters equivalent to publishable papers, drawing on at least three research experiments or separate analyses of a larger dataset related by a common theme. Students have access to the Animal Care Unit, the 840-hectare Goodale Research Farm, and the Veterinary Medicine Microscopy Unit. A faculty supervisor must be secured before applying, and either the student or supervisor must provide funding for the student's stipend. The program has an expected length of four years and is delivered in person.
