First, there is no such thing as a pre-veterinary degree. Individuals who wish to become veterinarians come from a variety of educational backgrounds. The pre-veterinary program, is a curriculum layout, more commonly referred to as a track that ensures students who intend to apply to veterinarian schools complete the appropriate prerequisite coursework. These courses typically include the following.

  • organic and inorganic chemistry
  • physics
  • biochemistry
  • general Biology
  • animal biology
  • animal nutrition
  • genetics
  • vertebrate embryology
  • cellular biology
  • microbiology
  • zoology
  • systemic physiology

Some programs require calculus; some require only statistics, college algebra and trigonometry, or pre-calculus. Most veterinary medical colleges also require some courses in English or literature, other humanities, and the Social Sciences. Increasingly, courses in general business management and career development have become a standard part of the curriculum to teach new graduates how to effectively run a practice.

What is the difference between pre-veterinary medicine and veterinary medicine majors?

Pre-veterinary medicine is what you do before veterinary school (that's what the pre is for). Veterinary medicine is not a major. It isn't done at the undergraduate level but rather the graduate level. In order to get into vet school you must complete the pre-veterinary requirements and most likey you will need a bachelor's degree in some field.
