Please note that we are changing our program name to Veterinary Technology (formerly Veterinary Nursing). The formal name change will occur with the fall 2026 admission cycle for fall 2027 admission into the program.  All documents will be officially updated at that time.  During this time of transition, you may see both names referenced across our website and other University materials, such as admissions documents and our admission application. You can be certain that the applications linked below are the correct applications for Purdue's Veterinary Technology programs (both the on-campus and distance learning).  This change will not affect the curriculum, accreditation, or the quality of education you receive. Thank you for your understanding during this time of transition.
