• ?Admission to veterinary school is highly competitive, and the pre-veterinary curriculum was redesigned to help our students desiring a career as veterinarians to reach their goals.? In addition to veterinary school, pre-veterinary students may consider an array of graduate studies in the health and life science professions or may pursue employment in a biomedical research entry-level position directly after graduation.
    • Veterinary schools seek applicants that demonstrate the ability to handle a rigorous academic course load, who have had extensive experience in the veterinary field, and demonstrate personal characteristics that will make them a positive addition to the veterinary profession.??? Becker?s pre-veterinary curriculum allows students to pursue higher level science courses to explore their interests and prepare for graduate studies.? Four hundred hours of externship hours are required of all pre-veterinary graduates, but other volunteer and work experience is strongly recommended prior to the formal externship to prepare for applications and explore the profession.?
