N.C. State College of Veterinary Medicine

The NC State College of Veterinary Medicine sits on William Moore Drive in Raleigh, part of the university. It trains veterinarians through a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program the college describes as world leading, and it also offers graduate programs. Clinical work sits alongside the classroom.

Research runs alongside the teaching, and the college is a significant force in veterinary science. Its graduates are in demand, and the college celebrates alumni who go on to lead in their fields. New classes arrive each fall, most recently the class of 2030.
