Best Answer

You must complete a bachelor's degree which will take approximately four years. Then you must graduate with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M. or V.M.D.) degree from a 4-year program at an accredited college of veterinary medicine. Thus, in total it is eight years of schooling. Four years of undergraduate work and four years of graduate work in veterinary medicine.

Vets don't need Master's degrees, they need Doctorate degrees (DVM-Doctor of Veterinary Medicine).
