In the United States, you will need to complete at least three years of undergraduate college. Courses include a year of Biology with lab, a year of inorganic chemistry with lab, a year of organic chemistry with lab, a term of biochemistry, a term of microbiology, Calculus I, a year of physics with lab, a term of genetics and a handful of other assorted general education/humanities. You then have to complete four years of vet school which includes classes like comparative anatomy, histology, pathology, epidemiology, molecular biology, communications, technical skills such as surgery and examination, radiology, pharmacology, etc.

The requirements around the world are similar although the structure of the educational system may vary - some countries have rolled all college courses into their vet school while others may require more or less time in pre-vet school college.
