This breadth of hands-on experience, combined with Hiram’s comprehensive and interdisciplinary liberal arts curriculum, ensures pre-vet students gain the type of knowledge that will set them apart from their peers. Veterinary colleges are looking for more than animal lovers who are strong in the sciences. They seek students who know how to run a business, communicate with clients, conduct research and work in areas the public doesn’t usually associate with veterinary medicine, including: biomedical research, food supply, veterinary medicine and public health.
