VetFAST Program
If you are thinking about a career in veterinary medicine, consider the VetFAST Program.
VetFAST (Veterinary Food Animal Scholars) is a unique program developed to meet the high demand for veterinarians trained to work with food production animals, such as dairy and beef cattle, swine, poultry, sheep, and goats.
VetFAST can allow you to:
- Gain VetFAST program acceptance by the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine at the end of your freshman or sophomore year in college rather than during your junior or senior year.
- Complete both your Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) degrees in seven years rather than eight.
- Graduate Record Exam (G.R.E.) requirement required of the traditional admission process for the D.V.M. program is waived for VetFAST.
- Benefit from mentorships with veterinary faculty and other D.V.M. students.
- Pursue summer veterinary and industry work opportunities.
- Get scholarships and financial support through summer internships
