Pre-Veterinary Medicine

Our Biology majors go to vet school!

Check out Ontario Veterinary College...we have an early assurance agreement with them.

Our pre-vet students take courses like zoology, animal behavior, and anatomy & physiology. They often intern at local veterinary clinics and volunteer at humane societies. Some students prefer to work with large animals at working farms or exotic animals at zoological parks. Did you know there is a shortage of veterinarians for farm animals?

We help you prepare your application including your resume and statement letter. Most Veterinary Schools require you to take the GRE exams.
