We're a lively campus community brimming with opportunities to enrich your studies, connect with peers and grow intellectually and personally.
A Caring, Collaborative Culture
Our college has unparalleled academic programs ā but what happens beyond our classroom walls is pretty exceptional, too.
Students study and socialize alongside a welcoming, tightly connected cohort of peers who, like them, are inquisitive, empathetic and ethically driven. They engage with faculty and staff who are rooting for their success. And they discover countless exciting extracurricular options.
Ignite new passions while studying abroad in spots like South Africa or the Galapagos. Build your skill set with research projects conducted in world-class labs. Kindle lifelong friendships with close-knit classmates. It all happens here, and we want you to be part of it.

PRETTY (AND SAFE) PLANTS. Itās almost Motherās Day! If youāre headed to the garden center to pick up a last-minute house plant or to the grocery store to grab a bouquet of flowers, what should you get if you have flower-munching felines or plant-eating pooches at home? Weāve got you covered! Check out some popular, pet-safe flowers and plants below and find more resources (such as searchable guides!) using the š in our bio.
**Please note: while these plants are nontoxic to your furry family members, we donāt recommend they ingest them as any flower, plant or leafy green can cause pets to vomit or have mild GI upset. Itās still best to keep these out of reach!...
THE FOREMOST FARRIER. Dr. Raul Bras was the epitome of "show me" learning when he shared his world-renowned expertise in horse hooves with the #NCStateVetMed students in the farrier selective. Knees on ground. Hands on horses. āWe definitely need more equine vets, and this is such a great opportunity to learn from Dr. Bras because he is amazing,ā says Isabelle McMullen. An increasing recognition of complex equine foot issues led #NCStateVetMed to recruit Bras to elevate the collegeās expertise in hoof health and its partnerships with the equine community in North Carolina.

REPTILE RESEARCH: Eastern box turtles, North Carolinaās official state reptile, are common patients at veterinary clinics and wildlife rehab facilities. They often need to be sedated or anesthetized for vet visits, but until recently no published research existed on the most effective ways to do so. Last year, #NCStateVetMed Class of 2024 alumnae Dr. Ashlyn Heniff and Dr. Rachel Carpenter made history by publishing the first paper evaluating sedation protocol in Eastern box turtles and discovering a more effective drug combination and administration method for these reptiles. Read about this stepping-stone in reptile sedation research using the š in our bio.
A TRIBUTE TO TURTLES. Itās time to shell-ebrate Eastern box turtles! In 2022, turtle-enthusiast Bruce Worf submitted this week-long holiday to the @natdaycal to celebrate the resilience of our little reptile friends and also honor the work of our very own #NCStateVetMed @TurtleRescueTeam. Follow along this week and read more about the origin of the holiday using the š in our bio.
YOU DID IT! š Over 100 #NCStateVetMed students from the Class of 2024 turned their tassels at Oath and Hooding and walked off the stage and into the next phase of their lives. During the challenges and triumphs of their degree programs, these new DVMs and Ph.D.s formed enduring bonds with the people and places that make the @ncstate College of Veterinary Medicine home. āI donāt want to leave the life that weāve built here, but weāre also really excited for whatās next,ā said DVM graduate Megan Gremling. Read our recap of this weekās celebrations at the š in our bio....
CLASS OF 2024: Class President Jamie Constantino can`t imagine his time at #NCStateVetMed without his pup Sadie by his side. When days were long and encouragement scarce, Sadie`s unfailing companionship was a loving reminder of why he started this journey in the first place. Don`t let other people tell you not to have a pet in vet school, he advises. Read Sadie`s story at the link in our profile. #vetschool #vetlife #dogsofinstagram...
ONE MORE DAY `TIL DOCTOR: The hard work has all led up to this! Tomorrow, we`re celebrating our over 100 DVM and Ph.D. graduates at #NCStateVetMed`s Oath and Hooding Ceremony.
