Veterinarians are important health professionals who are employed in
a variety of settings including privately owned practices, group practices,
and government or industrial facilities. This program is designed
to prepare students who plan to apply for admission to veterinary
school. Students who have not already earned a B.S. or B.A. will apply
to veterinary school after transferring to a four-year college or university.
In many colleges, students must choose a major other than
pre-veterinary medicine. Students often select a major which will
provide an alternative career route should they change their occupational
plans. The pre-veterinary curriculum prepares students for veterinary
school as well as for bachelor’s degrees in the life sciences,
chemistry, or related fields. Pre-veterinary students should obtain a
copy of admissions requirements for U.S. and Canadian veterinary
schools available through the American Veterinary Medical Colleges,
1522 K Street, Washington, D.C. 20036.

GENERAL EDUCATION CORE
(General education core credits in excess of 36 will transfer as general electives or courses related to the major. Each student’s total of general education and required courses must equal at least 60 semester hours of credit.)
