Every year hundreds of students applying to veterinary school are not accepted. For many of these applicants, the reason they were not accepted was their GPA. At Drexel University we have two programs that have been very successful in helping these students improve their academic credentials for the next admission cycle. The Veterinary Medical Science (VMS) program is a one-year, post-bac program, while the Master of Laboratory Animal Science (MLAS) program is a two-year graduate program. Every year, more than 80% of graduates of these two programs have been accepted to accredited veterinary schools. If you are a pre-vet student who has not been accepted to vet school in fall of 2009 please contact FdRexel for more information about these programs. Classes for both programs start in August 2009.

Over 60% of all infectious diseases of animals can also affect humans, and incidences of new, emerging zoonotic infectious diseases are on the rise. Veterinarian-scientists, by virtue of their broad experience in multiple species and extensive training in both molecular and whole animal contexts, are uniquely qualified to address the complex problems presented in modern biomedical research.
For over 40 years, the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine has provided an outstanding environment for the training of future veterinarian-scientists through its VMD/PhD Program. Find out more about how you can impact tomorrow ’s medicine for all species at the link.
