Pre-veterinary medicine


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs

Pre-veterinary medicine is not a degree-granting program. Individual advising is strongly recommended.

Program requirements


The pre-veterinary program in the College of Arts and Sciences prepares students for application to veterinary school. The following preprofessional courses must be included as a minimum preparation for admission:

  • Social sciences and/or humanities Credits: (12)
  • Electives Credits: (9)

Notes


Most students pursue a bachelor’s degree while working toward admission to vet school, although it is not required. Students interested in veterinary medicine may be advised through the College of Arts and Sciences or the College of Agriculture. Prerequisites, established by the College of Veterinary Medicine, are the same.

The college in which students receive undergraduate advising should be chosen based on the individual student’s academic interests, should they choose to pursue a bachelor’s degree.

The College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University does not recommend or give preference to students based on the college in which they receive undergraduate advising or through which they earn a bachelor’s degree.

The Veterinary Scholars Early Admission Program provides an admission opportunity for high school seniors.

Students with a 29 or higher composite ACT score or a 1280 or higher SAT combined score qualify for application to the Veterinary Scholars Early Admission Program. For more information about the early admission program contact the College of Veterinary Medicine.
