veterinary medicine
The courses required for admission to veterinary school are listed below, along with their Binghamton University equivalents. Please note that there are still a few idiosyncratic requirements, which do not appear on this list because they are relevant only to one or two veterinary schools. To identify these, you will have to examine each program’s web page. None of these subjects are covered on the GRE, so you have until graduation to complete these requirements. There are several ways in which you can create a course schedule in order to complete the course requirements in a timely manner. These, as well as other information, are discussed in the Pre-Health Freshman-Sophomore Handbook (pdf, 72kb).
