clinical sciences, and diagnostic
medicine/pathobiology.
The college’s nationally recognized
instructional and research programs provide
the highest standards of professional
education. A rich, varied, and extensive
agricultural program in the area surrounding
the college, a city with many pets and
a zoo, and referrals from surrounding
states provide a wealth of clinical material
for professional education in veterinary
