PRE-VETERINARY MEDICINE

Pierce College has the most successful two-year Pre-Veterinary Medicine program in the State of California. Students may learn "hands on" (kinesthetically), by listening (auditorily), or by seeing (visually). We are internationally known for our excellence in hands-on training of applicants to graduate schools of veterinary medicine. Our farm laboratory, new teaching hospital, diverse veterinary teaching staff, excellent life science, and chemistry support programs, and our industry mentors have contributed to this success. As of today (May 2022), 334 Pierce alumni have applied and been accepted into graduate schools of veterinary medicine. Our students have been accepted at University of California Davis, Purdue, Tuskegee, Mississippi, Fort Collins, Iowa State, Prince Edwards, Gainesville, Michigan State, Wisconsin, University of Liverpool, Oklahoma State, Guadalajara, Kansas State, Ross University, St. George University, Virginia-Maryland, Oregon State University, Washington State at Pullman, University College at Dublin, University of Illinois, University of Minnesota, Tufts, Cornell, Glasgow, Texas A & M Western University, Universidad Autónoma de Baja California,The Ohio State University, and Murdoch University in Western Australia. You can read some of their stories at our alumni page.
