**It is highly recommended that students also take courses in Animal Nutrition or complete an Animal Science minor through the EOU/OSU partnership. Students must meet with an OSU Advisor in order to map out requirements for the AS minor.
NotesThe Pre-Veterinary Medicine pathway is designed to meet the requirements for admission to Veterinary Medicine schools. Additionally, the curriculum is designed to prepare students for the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) which are commonly required (one or the other) by most Veterinary Medicine schools. Students are strongly encouraged to work closely with their Advisor when choosing appropriate coursework.
