Mindy C. Smith, '12

Associate veterinarian, Equine Medicine

The biology program at PUC gave me the foundation needed to transition into veterinary course work with ease. My professors were not only wonderful instructors, but ensured my academic success through personal mentorship and course flexibility. The smaller class sizes afforded many opportunities for leadership and teaching roles that greatly enhanced my application in a highly competitive pool.

“I’m so glad I chose PUC. I tell everyone to come here because I feel like we’re all family. The health communication major was perfect for me. The professors make you feel like an individual instead of just part of a group. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
