What college courses do you take to become a vet?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

In the United States, you must complete at least three years of undergraduate college (most vet school applicants complete four years and earn a Bachelor's degree) as well as four years of vet school.

In undergraduate, you must complete a year of inorganic chemistry with lab, a year of organic chemistry with lab, a term of biochemistry, a year of physics with lab, a year of basic biology (zoology, etc.) with lab, a term of genetics with lab, a term of microbiology with lab, Calculus I (and sometimes Calculus II), statistics and a collection of humanities and general education requirements.

In vet school, you will take numerous courses in anatomy, physiology, pathology, epidemiology, technical skills such as physical examination and surgery, communication, business and Personal Finance, histology, pharmacology and a collection of elective courses.

Answer 3

A well-balanced course load is always best in high school, but pay special attention to (and get your best grades in) the sciences, particularly biology. Basic anatomy is good if your school offers it.

Answer 4

a lot ofscience and maths and you need some health care


You should have a strong foundation in the following

• communication (written and oral)
• higher level maths (algebra, trigonometry, calculus)
• biology
• chemistry
  
• physics
• computer literacy
• development of good critical thinking skills

Considering the above, there are many colleges and universities that offer a pre-vet program which ensures a student takes the appropriate prerequisite coursework required by veterinary schools. Competition is keen thus you should keep your grade point average as high as possible. Part-time work, or volunteering within a veterinary hospital will be of benefit also.

Answer 5

There is no specific required major in undergraduate college to apply to vet school, although most applicants are biology, chemistry, animal science or a related major. In vet school, your major is veterinary medicine.

Answer 6

The following information is specific to the United States. In undergraduate you need to take three years worth of courses including Physics, Calculus I and II, Biochemistry, Organic Chemistry, Microbiology, Genetics and many other courses. In vet school you need to complete the required curriculum with any additional electives you choose that will fill the number of hours you need.

Answer 7

Any math and science courses, such as biology, chemistry and such, would be helpful. You'll still have to attend veterinary school after graduating college.
