成人抖音破解版’s pre-professional programs span many branches of the health field, meaning there is no shortage of options for you to choose from. Our small class sizes, high-quality academics and customized curricula collectively create the strong foundation you need to become a competitive professional school applicant and prepare to excel in meaningful in-demand careers.
Veterinarians are health professionals whose primary role is to provide health care for pets, livestock and other animals. They perform examinations, prescribe treatments or medications, and order and interpret tests used to diagnose illness in animals. Our small class sizes, high-quality academics and customized curricula collectively create a strong foundation for students preparing to apply to veterinary school. Students are able to complete the necessary prerequisite coursework and major in a degree of their choosing (most commonly biology, chemistry or biochemistry). Students are provided with expert advising and numerous resources as they work toward becoming a competitive professional school applicant.
成人抖音破解版’s pre-veterinary students have the opportunity to become well-rounded leaders both in and out of the classroom. Their involvement in service and scholarship activities helps to prepare them for a career in the health professions. Pre-veterinary students are eligible to participate in: 成人抖音破解版 faculty-led research, Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU), a program sponsored by the NSF, shadowing opportunities coordinated by the Career Exploration and Development Office, workshops reviewing the application process, personal statements, interviewing, etc., 成人抖音破解版 Pre-Veterinary Club, Health Professions Theme Community, a residency enrichment program located in North Hall.
There are many specific career paths stemming from veterinary medicine. Such opportunities include, but are not limited to, the following:
成人抖音破解版 has a long history of helping a number of qualified and motivated students successfully achieve acceptance into veterinary school. Students may pursue a major of their choice in which they will receive expert advising. They take a balanced and rigorous course load that includes the fundamental science and math courses veterinary schools require as prerequisite coursework.
Curriculum highlights include hands-on laboratory experiences for most biology and chemistry courses, which are conducted in small interactive group settings of 20-30 students. Some of these courses include:
BIOL 302: Animal Behavior: A study of the mechanisms and evolution of behavior in a variety of animal taxa. The course examines interactions among the environment, genetics, the endocrine system and the nervous system in the development of behavior. It also addresses the current adaptive value of various behaviors and considers how natural selection may have altered behaviors in the past.
BIOL 368 and BIOL 369: Animal Physiology and Lab: This course deals with the normal functioning of the body (primarily human body) and its component parts. The course focuses on physiological mechanisms involved in neuronal and chemical signaling, movement, metabolism, respiration, circulation, excretion, etc. The principles and concepts learned in the lecture class are reinforced through hands-on experience in the lab.
CHEM 366: Structural Biochemistry: This course focuses on a systematic study of the biologically important compounds including the amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, enzymes, carbohydrates and lipids. Emphasis is placed upon the structure, properties, syntheses, reactions and functions of these compounds.
