Any college with good biological sciences should be able to provide a strong pre-vet preparation.  In this it is similary to preparing for medical school... students needn't major in "pre-med"... they just need to complete the coursework that veterinary programs will look for.  The best resource for what Veterinary Colleges will require of their applicants are the colleges themselves; there's lots of good information at the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges website, http://aavmc.org/Students-Applicants-and-Advisors/Pre-Vet-Student-Resources.aspx

Still, when the query was posted to the NACAC listserv in December of 2007, HS and college folks made the following recommendations:

 

Bucknell

 

Colorado State University

 

Cornell University (http://www.ansci.cornell.edu/students/prevet/index, http://www.vet.cornell.edu/)

Penn State

  

Purdue (IN)

 

Wilson College (Chambersburg PA) has an exceptionally strong Pre-Vet

program.  We also have a Bachelor's degree in Veterinary Medical

Technology (one of the few AVMA accredited 4 yr programs).  Since so

many of our students are interested in going to vet school, we have a

special session during our new student orientation for those students.

 

West Virginia University has a wonderful programs for pre-vet, animal sciences, and animal nutrition as part of our school of agriculture, forestry, and consumer

sciences.
