Veterinary Degrees Online

Veterinary medicine is one of the fastest growing professions in the country, and Warren Wilson College graduates have been very successful in gaining admission to schools of veterinary medicine. Students may fulfill the entrance requirements for veterinary schools by earning a B.S. degree in Biology or Chemistry. Veterinary schools expect applicants to have had experience in studying and caring for animals, and pre-vet students work on the Farm crew for two years, caring for and managing all aspects of the pig and cattle herds. The combination of a good academic background, Farm Crew experience, and the discipline from the Warren Wilson College Triad educational program benefit the student in applying to veterinary medicine programs and in future professional work. An additional strength of the pre-veterinary medicine program at Warren Wilson College is that the pre-veterinary advisor is a licensed veterinarian with a Ph.D. in animal behavior.

Expertise in Sustainable Animal Production Systems
In society’s growing concern about environmental degradation from human intervention in the natural system and in particular of our common patterns of economic development and overexploitation of natural resources that are “unsustainable” in the long term. The expansion into international markets, hierarchical maximizing yields, favors a model in which production expands the use of inputs, mainly chemical, and monoculture, excluding the process of nature.
Assuming the need for a change process in which the use of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological and institutional change to reflect the present and future needs, the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Sciences UNR designed for an academic option that addresses this issue.

From April 2008 will start the dictation of courses for the Postgraduate Degree of Specialization in Sustainable Animal Production Systems, aimed at deepening the study of the structure and dynamics of animal production systems for better management of the processes inherent in sustainability.

This race will be presented for accreditation CONEAU during 2008.
