PRE-VETERINARY
Suggested Program of Study
NOTE:Pre-Veterinary Medicine does not lead to a degree. This program is only meant to meet veterinary schools' prerequisite course requirements. To be most competetive for admission to a student's veterinary school of choice, the student should choose a Bachelor's degree program that is offered at Lamar University. Commonly a Biology or Chemistry degree is sought, however a degree in any area is acceptable to most veterinary schools.
