Veterinary medicine is responsible for protecting the health and welfare of both animals and humans.
Currently there is a shortage of veterinarians both in the United States and internationally. These two factors have created a growing marketplace for career positions in the veterinary and related animal science fields. The veterinary profession, however, goes beyond direct animal care. This program is designed to fulfill these schools' admission requirements, and prepare graduating students to compete in the highly selective admissions process. Other programs in the Department include Animal Biotechnology, Equine Studies, and Animal Industries.
