MIT’s commitment to the highest standards of animal welfare is evidenced by the fact that its animal care program has been AAALAC accredited since 1974. Our 2026 AAALAC site visit will take place from November 17 to November 20. Learn more about what to expect.

Reminder: Live animal shipments must still be coordinated by DCM, not eShipGlobal. Contact animal-import-export@mit.edu.
