If animals are your passion and you’ve always known that veterinary school is the place for you, Clemson has the faculty and resources to prepare you for the road ahead.

You’ll work closely with our preveterinary adviser to ensure that your courses are putting you on the path to veterinary school.

Immerse yourself in scientific research, gain work experience or even travel abroad, all while achieving your goal of becoming a veterinarian.
