Equine Science Preveterinary Medicine/Pregraduate Studies
This major provides a unique opportunity for preveterinary medicine students and students interested in pursuing graduate studies to work with horses at the Equine Center, producing horse-experienced veterinary students.
In addition to fulfilling the specific requirements for entry into a graduate or preveterinary program, students study the horse in depth over the course of 4 quarters, one body system at a time, learning about the normal anatomy and physiology, diseases and disorders, current diagnostic modalities, treatments, prognosis and prevention. The students are prepared for entry into graduate school programs and college of veterinary medicine. Students work closely with their advisers to fulfill specific prerequisites of each individual science-related graduate program including veterinary medicine.
Many undergraduate research opportunities are available and internship experiences in their areas of interest are strongly recommended.
