About The Club

The Pre-Veterinary Club at the University of Central Arkansas is a recognized student organization for students interested in veterinary medicine and/or related fields. We aim to meet two primary objectives:

​

Our internal focus is to expose interested students to the wide range of careers in the field of veterinary medicine as well as assisting students through the process of preparing and applying for professional school.

​

The organization's external mission is to raise animal welfare awareness, engage with all members of the community that are passionate about animals, and provide volunteer service at local organizations.
