Content: Most veterinary schools do not accept students who have not taken calculus, even if their published requirement only lists algebra and trigonometry. In many cases, students complete the algebra and trigonometry requirements in advanced high school programs, but if not, they must take the classes in college. Students must obtain a passing grade, usually a "C," to obtain credit for the coursework. Prerequisites
Depending on your academic program, you might be required to take certain math courses as a prerequisite for the calculus or statistics course you need. For example, some schools might require students to take algebra, geometry, trigonometry and pre-calculus before they're allowed to take calculus or statistics. Once again, advanced high school courses might satisfy the prerequisites, but it's best to check with the particular veterinary school to determine exactly what math classes – and at what level – are needed. ‒‒:‒‒
