Pre-Veterinary Medicine
Medicine and Health CareVeterinarians care for pets, livestock, sporting and laboratory animals, and protect humans against diseases carried by animals. Veterinarians diagnose medical problems, dress wounds, set broken bones, perform surgery, prescribe and administer medicines, and vaccinate animals against diseases. They also advise owners on care and breeding.
The GCC program provides the first two years of general education courses designed to transfer to the university level for continuation of studies. All states in the U.S. require that veterinarians be licensed. To obtain a license, applicants must have a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from an accredited college of veterinary medicine and pass a state board examination.
