Survey courses are found in many areas including microbiology, animal science, biology, veterinary technology, zoology, botany, entomology, crop and weed sciences, soil science, cereal science and food science. The Department of Veterinary and Microbiological Sciences is housed in Van Es and Robinson Halls. Both buildings are located on the west end of the NDSU campus adjoining Centennial Boulevard. Faculty in the department are involved with teaching and research. In addition, the department includes the State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory through which about 10,000 cases are examined each year.
All faculty are available for advice and consultation.
There are a number of courses offered by the department that can be taken by pre-veterinary medicine students. These include all the undergraduate microbiology courses. We encourage all students interested in any aspect of veterinary medicine to enroll in VetS. 150 - Introduction to the Veterinary Profession. The Pre-Vet Club at NDSU is open to any student interested in veterinary medicine. Students from Minnesota State University-Moorhead, Concordia, and University of North Dakota have been members of the club in past years.
