The University of Findlay - Pre-Veterinary Medicine

Student working on cat with veterinarian

If working with animals is your goal... we invite you to consider one of the top pre-veterinary schools in the country!

Students in our pre-veterinary program who apply to veterinary school have an acceptance rate of more than 60 percent. This is nearly twice the national average!

The University of Findlay’s pre-veterinary program is recognized for its “hands-on” approach to animal health. Our current students come from a variety of backgrounds, including farm, suburban and urban environments. They enjoy a strong academic foundation in preparation for veterinary school, along with practical experience at one of two outstanding farm complexes.

New animal science building enhances program!

The Dr. C. Richard Beckett Animal Science Building at the Center for Equine and Pre-Veterinary Studies has significantly increased hands-on opportunities for students. A 31,000-square-foot facility, it houses many farm species and provides a rich learning environment for UF pre-veterinary and animal science students.

Why choose UF for pre-vet?

Our students reap the benefits of outstanding facilities and strong relationships with area professionals. Learning opportunities include:

Working on-site with four practicing veterinarians
Observing at area veterinary clinics
Small animal and large animal medicine
Veterinary school acceptance rate nearly twice the national average
Observing at UF’s equine hospital (board certified equine surgeon on staff)

The University Equine Veterinary Services Inc. (located at our English riding facility), offers emergency and routine medical and surgical services for UF animal herds and animals belonging to the general public.
