Pre-Vet
If you’re considering a pre-veterinary degree, you likely have the clear goal to go to graduate school so that you can work in the animal health field. As you consider what you want to do for your undergrad degree, perhaps the more thought-provoking question at this point would be, “How can I set myself up for success in grad school?” For that question, we have an excellent answer: by combining strengths in agriculture and biology and getting both real-world experience and a solid classroom education.
Huntington University’s pre-vet program combines HU’s strengths in animal science and agriculture with our outstanding pre-med track record. You’ll work directly with livestock both on and off campus and obtain rigorous scientific training. An HU degree will prepare you to apply to veterinary school or to graduate school for master’s and doctoral degrees in other areas of animal health.
