Program Accreditation and/or Recognitions

We have the only Animal Sciences/Animal and Veterinary Sciences Department in Southern California. Most schools in North America focus on Animal Sciences; we are one of the few that emphasize on Animal and Veterinary Sciences.

Animal Science

Nation-wide, we are the only Animal and Veterinary Sciences department that has a polytechnic approach to learning, with an emphasis on hands-on training. The Pre-veterinary Science/Graduate School option meets requirements for admission to most schools of veterinary medicine, related medical technical fields, and graduate study. About 44% (average for past 5 years) of our Prevet students that apply to vet school are accepted. This is a high success rate considering that nation-wide we have only 32 veterinary schools, and the acceptance rate is typically 10-15%.
