Your Academic Advisors

Your advisors are available to guide you in preparing for applying to the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine’s DVM Program. They are a valuable resource for your academic success at MSU and are here to help you on your educational journey, even if that means you ultimately decide not to apply to the DVM Program.

Your advisors are also able to provide referrals to many of the resources on campus that will help you succeed in your coursework, help you with any personal or non-academic concerns, and are necessary for you to be an involved, successful student at MSU.
