Expanding Horizons

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2023-2024 Catalog. Courses of Study 2023-2024 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

The Expanding Horizons course offers Cornell veterinary students who are approved for Expanding Horizons Program funding an opportunity to earn credit as they engage in novel veterinary medicine experiences involving World Bank designated low, lower middle or upper middle income countries. Students spend the summer (typically 8-10 weeks) or clinical blocks (6 weeks) participating in an independent veterinary research project or veterinary experience in a foreign country. Students are responsible for identifying contacts in the country of interest, developing a project idea, and submitting a written project proposal to the Expanding Horizons Committee for consideration. College faculty and the Office of Student and Academic Services may assist and advise students on project development and preparation for the experience. Students in the course will be assessed through participation in virtual, asynchronous course activities.
