Explore the wide variety of careers available within veterinary medicine and discover first-hand what attending veterinary school is really like! The week-long Adventures in Veterinary Medicine College Program is the perfect introduction for students interested in pursuing a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree. This exciting and intensive program is your opportunity to learn more about veterinary medicine, surrounded by others who share your passion for animals, health, and science.
