Veterinary Degrees Online

Students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a baccalaureate degree in these pre-professional programs ordinarily follow the Biological Sciences or Chemistry curricula. All students must complete the general education requirements in order to earn the A.A. or A.S. degree. Students should become familiar as soon as possible with the requirements of the institution to which they plan to transfer. Students should choose electives only after consulting with an advisor. All course prerequisites must be met.

For students who like to work with animals—either companion animals or livestock—the Veterinary Science Program is a perfect place to start your studies. The Veterinary Science Program is a pre-professional program that satisfies the entrance requirements for professional veterinary schools that offer a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree.

Students who satisfy the pre-veterinary coursework, the university’s core requirements and are accepted into a professional veterinary school, may qualify for a bachelor of science degree from the University of Nevada, Reno after completion of 32 credits at the professional school.
