Elmira College
Founded in 1855, Elmira was the first college for women with a course of study equal in rigor to the best men's colleges. “Female seminaries” as they were called at the time, were essentially glorified high schools. In contrast, from its very inception, Elmira College offered rigorous academic programs.

Pre-Veterinary Medicine
Medicine and Health CareStudents preparing for a career as a physician, dentist, veterinarian, physical therapist, physician assistant, pharmacist, podiatrist, chiropractor or optometrist will get a great start at Elmira College. Students following their passion, with any academic major, will develop the skills crucial to the practicing physician: problem-solving, effective communication, and critical thinking skills.
Most students choose a major in one of the sciences, although psychology, history, sociology, Spanish or English have also been popular majors or minors for those interested in health care. Fulfilling a broad-based liberal arts education with attention to the science pre-requisite courses is a smart way to prepare for future study in medical school.
