The Pre-Veterinary Pathway prepares students to apply to graduate programs in veterinary medicine. One of the unique elements of this pathway at Carroll College is the combination of course offerings in the sciences, humanities and social sciences, as well as the course offerings in the growing field of anthrozoology, where students work hands-on with animals and learn about how animals and humans interact with each other across the globe. There are also several clubs for students to join that can assist in their knowledge and experience in this field, such as the pre-veterinary club and the anthrozoology club. To learn more about the Pre-Veterinary program at Carroll College, visit: https://www.carroll.edu/pre-professional/pre-veterinary-medicine
Please note that completion of the Pre-Veterinary Pathway does not guarantee that all graduate/professional admission prerequisites have been met, nor does it assure admission into a veterinary medicine degree program. Carroll students pursuing this pathway need to work closely with the appropriate pre-professional advisor, as well as the admission office(s) of all prospective graduate/professional programs.
