What are the majors needed for a vet?

Answer 1

There are pre-veterinary medicine majors out there (I actually graduated with a BS in pre-veterinary medicine), but they aren't as useful as a straight science major. Most applicants to vet school have a BS in chemistry, Biology, zoology, etc. - one of the core hard sciences. There are also a number of applicants with bachelor's degrees in agriculture, animal science, etc.

Answer 2

A major in pre-veterinary studies is available through some, but not all, schools. Alternatively, students can earn a bachelor's degree in a broader subject, such as general science or biology, while being certain to include the courses required by vet school.

Answer 3

In the United States, the most popular majors tend to be biology, chemistry or animal science. However, there is no required major and you can major in something completely different - I had a classmate in vet school who had a degree in fashion design. So long as you complete all the pre-requisite courses, your undergraduate major doesn't matter too much.

Answer 4

There are no specifically required undergraduate majors to apply to vet school in the United States - one of my classmates had a bachelors in fashion design. So long as you complete the pre-requisite courses, you can apply to vet school.

However, the majority of vet school applicants major in biology, chemistry, animal science or a related field since the list of pre-requisite classes are pretty close to the list of core classes for these majors at most colleges.

Once you are in vet school, your major is "veterinary medicine".

Answer 5

I chose biology, but others in my class had majored in chemistry, animal science, agriculture and (notably) fashion design. In the United States, there is no required undergraduate major that you have to complete before applying to vet school - so long as you complete the pre-requisite classes, you are good to go.

In vet school, your major is veterinary medicine.

Answer 6

There is no specific major for undergraduate studies that you must or necessarily should take to improve your chances of admission to vet school - so long as you complete all the pre-requisite courses your major is irrelevant. However, most applicants to vet school major in Biology, Animal Sciences, Chemistry or a related scientific field.

Answer 7

In the United States there is no required major in undergraduate to apply to vet school. However, most vet school applicants major in biology, chemistry or animal science.
