6 Pre-Vet Degree Programs

The Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program is designed to offer first-class scientific and clinical training in veterinary medicine. The program enables students to understand the basic biological principles of normal body function and disease, and the ability to distinguish the pathological from the normal, to prevent disease and safely manage the processes of animal production.

As an EU member state, automatic recognition based on harmonized minimum training requirements for sectoral professions (doctors, nurses, dentists, veterinary surgeons, pharmacists and midwives) is provided.

Students who are interested in going to veterinary school typically major in biology, chemistry or biochemistry. These majors include most of the required courses for entrance into veterinary programs. However, other degrees can also prepare students for health professions; thus students are encouraged to major in the field where they excel and should consult the pre-health professions advisor about course work.

Students not in the program may apply to the university as Animal Science Preveterinary majors. Students may apply for admission into the Veterinary Preparation major during the semester during which they will complete all prerequisite coursework. Approval will be contingent upon satisfactory fulfillment of the prerequisites and the grade point average standard.
