Vetward Bound and Office of Diversity Programs
The College of
Veterinary Medicine’s Vetward Bound Program is designed to assist
disadvantaged students seeking a career in the veterinary medical
profession. The program’s mission is to increase the
representation of educationally, economically, culturally disadvantaged
persons ready for entrance into the professional program in the College
of Veterinary Medicine. The program fosters recruitment,
retention services and collaborative relationships with other MSU
institutional programs to strengthen mentoring and academic
assistance. Participating students receive academic
advising, career/general counseling, and assistance in preparing for
standardized tests, supplemental instructional support, and
opportunities to gain exposure to the veterinary profession. In
addition, special seminars and summer enrichment programs are offered.
Interested students should contact the Vetward Bound Program.
Economically disadvantaged students who are selected to participate will meet HHS Health Careers Opportunity Program guidelines and Federal thresholds. The educationally disadvantaged come from socio-economical, educational or cultural backgrounds that differentially limit their ability to be academically and experientially competitive when compared to other students preparing to enter a professional program in veterinary medicine.
