What Major Do You Need To Be A Veterinarian?
Content: If, on the other hand, you feel that you haven’t received quite enough training in biology, chemistry, or the animal sciences as an undergrad, you might choose to earn your master’s degree in one of those fields before applying to vet school. Once you’re in veterinary school, your undergraduate math/science training will prove to be a major asset. Veterinary courses are often fast-paced and intense; your professors might launch right into advanced topics, assuming that you’re well-versed in the basics. Expect to take during your four years of vet school courses in microbiology, pathology, physiology, and immunology. You’ll study many different species of animals in depth and learn how to treat them — and that includes various surgical techniques. Vet school students attend lectures in classrooms and conduct experiments in labs. They even treat animals during clinical rotations. For that reason, you’ll want to make sure that your major prepares you well in terms of taking notes in class and in terms of hands-on fieldwork. In other words, your major should cover a wide range of research methods and include a number of educational settings.
