University of Delaware

You will be highly competitive for positions in graduate programs and for admission to veterinary schools. In 2016, 29 out of 30 students who applied to veterinary school or medical school were accepted. Beginning in your first semester, you will work with horses, cows, sheep and yes, blue hens, on our 350-acre farm, which is located right on campus. You will have the opportunity to participate in undergraduate research and work closely with faculty scholars to solve problems in animal nutrition, immunology, virology and molecular biology. You can even raise and train a service dog in your residence hall! Through the College’s study-abroad programs, you will have the opportunity to study cattle, sheep and horses in New Zealand and conservation biology of non-domesticated animals in Tanzania.
