Content: 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.
