PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS

PRE-VETERINARY CURRICULUM

Coordinator: Dr. Peter D. King

The courses that follow will assist a student in preparing for enrollment in a school of veterinary medicine. After completion of these courses at the University, a student transferring to another four-year institution in South Carolina for courses in animal science, dairy science, poultry science, animal nutrition, and genetics could complete the minimum program for pre-veterinary medicine. Some of these critical courses are available on-line.

Generally, applicants for a school of veterinary medicine are screened according to scholastic rating. Students with the highest average are given preference. Each student planning a career in veterinary medicine must register with the Chairperson of the Committee on Pre-medical Sciences (Department of Biology, Leatherman Science Facility).

Minimum program for pre-veterinary students includes:

    General chemistry 8 hours
    Organic chemistry 8 hours
    Physics 8 hours
    Mathematics 6-9 hours
    Biology 12 hours
    English 12 hours
    Social sciences 9 hours

63-66 semester hours
