ADVISING

How to meet with an advisor

An advisor can help you stay "on track" throughout your degree program. We strongly encourage every student in our two majors to take just a few minutes out of their busy schedules and visit wiht one of our advisors at least once a semester. By using the above link, you can make an appointment with one of the main advisors in the department. View the Student Resource Center.

MISSION

What is the Resource Center is About?

The Instructional Resource Center of the Department of Veterinary Science and Microbiology provides a hub for the department's instructional services. Its primary task is to enhance the academic and professional success of undergraduate students planning to major in veterinary science, microbiology, and/or pre-vet students. It serves as a facility to study, to utilize computers and other resources (samples exams, books, the worldwide web, etc.), to meet peers, and to seek advise and help in academic, administrative and professional questions.

The IRC also provides the first contact for anybody inquiring about a major in veterinary science and/or microbiology; about applying to a veterinary and/or professional school; and about the departmental instructional programs, including its graduate program in pathobiology.
