About

Occupations in veterinary medicine are expected to grow three times faster than all other occupations between 2016 and 2026. If you're interested in caring for animals, conducting research related to animal illnesses, or working with livestock in university or government settings, the Pre-Vet Advising Program at RIT can help you reach your career goals.

What is Pre-Vet Advising?

Being accepted into veterinary school requires a strong academic record, GRE preparation, and accruing hours of direct animal care under the supervision of a veterinarian (DVM), researcher (Ph.D.), or other animal health professional. RIT's Pre-Vet Advising Program provides students with individual, personalized support that helps you fulfill the veterinary school requirements of the rigorous Veterinary Medical College Application Service (VMCAS), a centralized application service used by veterinary colleges.

Housed in the College of Science, the Pre-Vet Advising Program also helps students acquire the research and real-world experience required for these careers in veterinary medicine. Our experiential learning program can help you acquire the hours of animal care needed to help you become a competitive candidate for admission to veterinary colleges. We help students find internships around the country or locally near the RIT campus. Among the local opportunities are internships at Seneca Park Zoo and Rochester Animal Services.

Over the past 15 years, RIT graduates have been admitted to top programs at some of the most highly ranked veterinary colleges, including:

Cornell University
Michigan State
Tufts University
University of Pennsylvania
Ohio University
Ohio State
North Carolina
Purdue University
University of Illinois
University of Florida
University of Guelph in Canada

A personalized pre-vet advising program designed to maximize your candidacy for admission to veterinary schools.
