Why Visit the College of Veterinary Medicine?
As a profession Veterinary Medicine goes far beyond your family cat or dog. According to the AAVMC, “Every community needs veterinarians to provide animal health care, but they also do many other kinds of jobs. They make sure the nation’s food supply is safe. They work to control the spread of diseases. They conduct research that helps both animals and humans.Veterinarians are at the forefront of protecting the public’s health and welfare.”
North Carolina State University is home to the #3 veterinary college in the US! The state‐of‐the‐art facilities and technology make our college one of the best-equipped teaching hospitals in the nation. Come and learn about what your students need to know to get into veterinary school, as well as global opportunities, financial considerations, and the career options open to them with a DVM degree.
This program is for higher education professionals only. Please forward this to any higher education professionals who may be interested in attending. Prospective students are not permitted to register or attend.
