Positively impacting people and animals across South Carolina

Elevating Lives

There has never been a better time to establish the Harvey S. Peeler Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine. The human-animal bond is unique and profound. Along with the changing face of animal agriculture, efforts to spearhead the new college's mission and vision are critically important as we aim to achieve even greater heights of excellence for the University. Recent studies prove that ample qualified candidates are applying to veterinary colleges, yet there are not enough seats across the country to accommodate students' desire to become veterinarians. The Clemson University Harvey S. Peeler Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine will create new opportunities to improve South Carolina's economy, retain top talent and protect animal and human health while serving our communities. We are excited you are here to learn more.
