Pre-Veterinary Medicine (AA.PVET)

The Pre-Veterinary Medicine major is designed for those students who are planning to transfer to a university such as the University of Illinois to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science with a Pre-Veterinary Medicine concentration or seek early admission to a College of Veterinary Medicine. This major can also be used to meet requirements for the Pre-Veterinary Medicine concentration at Eastern Illinois University.

The Associate in Arts degree requires the completion of 64 credit hours. The sample course sequence below includes the required 64 credit hours plus additional courses recommended for this major.

This program follows Math Pathway #4. Math requirements for a specific major may vary from one institution to another. Please consult with an academic counselor or academic advisor to confirm the pathway that is applicable to your major and transfer institution.

Note: It is recommended that students of this major enroll in General Chemistry during the first semester of the first year if all pre-requisites are met. This would allow for entry into the Organic Chemistry courses during the second year if accepted by the transfer university.
