With more than 135 years of leadership and innovation in veterinary education and groundbreaking research advancing animal and human health, we are training the next generation of veterinarians who will lead the field of veterinary medicine and alongside over 10,000 alumni who are practicing in all 50 states and 40 countries. Our Veterinary Health System comprised of four hospitals and a large animal practice, delivers cutting-edge care to more than 78,000 canine, feline, equine and farm animal patients each year from world-renowned experts in the field of veterinary medicine.

College creates opportunities for students to learn in and out of the classroom

A significant component of the new curriculum is providing opportunities for students beginning the first week of their first year to have regular and recurring hands-on experiences outside the classroom, giving them a broader understanding of their future careers and preparing them to be confident and competent practice-ready veterinarians.
