A degree in preveterinary medicine is not offered at Texas A&M University, but appropriate educational experiences are available for entrance into the veterinary medical program (see Preprofessional Course Requirements).
Students preparing for admission to the professional veterinary medical program must choose a specific course of study (major) offered by one of the colleges at the university in which the student is enrolled. Students are encouraged to enroll into a degree program leading to another career choice, in case they are not selected for the professional veterinary medical program. This degree program should provide appropriate educational experiences and academic rigor to prepare the student for entrance into the veterinary medical program.
All prerequisite courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better by the Spring semester in the year in which you are applying for. (For example, all prequisite courses must be completed with a "C" or better by the end of the Spring 2009 in order to enter into the Fall 2009 semester.)
***************ATTENTION, ATTENTION, ATTENTION*******************
Effective for all applicants applying for Fall 2009 entry class and thereafter:
The Selections Committee will be adding a General Animal Science course to the prerequisites. It is the applicants responsibility to get this course taken by the end of the Spring 2009 semester. Failure to complete this course or any other prerequisite course by the end of the Spring 2009 semester will result in the disqualification of the applicants file.
