Pre-Veterinary Medicine
Medicine and Health CareStudents interested in pre-veterinary medicine should major in biology (health track). It is recommended that students also complete one year of organic chemistry and MATH 131.
Although requiring a strong foundation in the sciences, veterinary schools also look for well-developed communication skills and preparation in the humanities and social sciences. The College offers a wide variety of internship programs, including those with local veterinarians, veterinary hospitals, and zoos.
Competition for a place in veterinary school is perhaps more intense than for other professional schools. Factors taken into consideration by admissions committees include college grade point average, score on the Graduate Record Exam (General), career experience with a veterinary practice, and involvement in extracurricular activities. For admission into veterinary school, applicants should have a grade point average of at least 3.50 to 3.75.
