1Requirements subject to change pending decisions of TAMU College of Veterinary Medicine. If a fourth year of study leading to a baccalaureate degree is pursued prior to entry into veterinary college, additional Tarleton general education requirements must be completed.
2Recommended for gifted students with exceptionally strong high school background. Meets minimum recommendations for application to the professional veterinary medical program. All courses can also be applied towards a BS degree in Animal Science or other chosen related field; however, additional lower-level courses are required to meet Tarleton and/or State of Texas baccalaureate requirements.
A program in Pre-Veterinary Medicine is also offered through the Department of Biological Sciences. Although the Pre-Veterinary programs offered through the Departments of Animal Sciences and Biological Sciences each meet all the requirements for admission to the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine, a student is typically best suited for one program or the other. It is important that a student discuss with an advisor which program is best suited to his or her interests, skills, and goals.
