We recently launched our School of Veterinary Medicine, the first in New Jersey. In addition, we are one of just three universities in the nation with two medical schools. Many of our biological sciences majors aspire to apply to these graduate programs.
I chose my major because I saw that my classes would provide me with all the knowledge and support necessary to succeed on my journey to medical school.
