Healthy, productive livestock and pets lead to healthy people
With a veterinary school acceptance rate of 89 percent (versus 40 percent nationally), the University of Delaware's B.S. in Pre-Veterinary Medicine prepares students for the competitive vet school application process and success in those doctorate programs. From the very first course of your freshmen year, you'll be hands-on, working with sheep, cows, horses and other domestic animals. You will help care for the 100 million companion animals that are members of our families and help solve the problems related to the 10 million cats and dogs that enter shelters each year. Graduates recognize that healthy, productive livestock and pets lead to healthy people. Specialty courses include clinical skills and career exploration to advance your veterinary resume.

What’s special about this program?
Competition for veterinary school admission is fierce. UD students are overwhelmingly successful not only being accepted, but also thrive in those programs. UD’s thorough preparation ensures it. Your hands-on experiences happen right on main campus, with 350 acres of animal facilities, research labs and so much more to explore. UD is also known for widely available and varied undergraduate research opportunities, some as early as your freshman or sophomore year. Work closely with professors to solve problems in animal nutrition, immunology, virology and molecular biology. Finally, through the college’s study-abroad programs, immerse yourself in sustainable agriculture in New Zealand and wildlife conservation in Tanzania.
