Driven by real‑world challenges in animal health, the Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan offers Master of Science (MSc) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs that prepare 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, students develop the expertise needed to improve herd health and strengthen veterinary practice. Pursue bold questions in livestock medicine, from herd‑level prevention to clinical interventions. Work alongside experts to redefine how large animal care supports sustainable agriculture and global food systems. The Master of Science – Project (MSc-Project) is a less research-intensive degree done with a clinical residency program . Completion of a research project of appropriate size and scope is an important component of this degree and is required of all students. The MSc-Project degree is non-thesis, but students must complete at least one research project or experiment that results in the equivalent of a peer-reviewed quality publication. A submission-quality manuscript must be prepared but it does not need to be submitted prior to graduation despite advantages of doing so. This concentration was developed specifically for veterinarians with degrees from non-accredited universities (i.e foreign-trained)
