<p>I've heard that there is no veterinary program at Northwestern and I was honestly surprised upon hearing that. I looked on the website and didn't see any mention of vet programs, either, and I was wondering if you guys could confirm/deny this information or if you knew why this is true? Thanks :)</p>
<p>There is no official veterinary, animal science, or pre-vet program.</p>
<p>That said, advising is still available for situations like that, so that you complete the proper courses. I have a friend who is pre-vet. Though there isn’t a specific department or advisor for that sort of thing, it’s possible to do.</p>
<p>Anyone thinking of Vet school needs to carefully read this.</p>
<p><a href=“High Debt and Falling Demand Trap New Veterinarians - The New York Times”>High Debt and Falling Demand Trap New Veterinarians - The New York Times;
<p>There are 28 accredited vet schools in the US: <a href=“https://www.avma.org/ProfessionalDevelopment/Education/Accreditation/Colleges/Documents/colleges_accredited.pdf[/url]”>https://www.avma.org/ProfessionalDevelopment/Education/Accreditation/Colleges/Documents/colleges_accredited.pdf</a>. Of those 28, 24 are state schools and 25 are land grant universities. NU doesn’t really fit the profile at all.</p>
<p>Look into the vet school in your state and choose your pre-vet program accordingly. If your state doesn’t have a vet school, chances are it has an agreement with a nearby state to reserve slots for its residents. Consider oos and foreign vet schools only if you have such a passion that you’d pay to do it–that might be (literally) what you’d end up doing.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
