The pre-veterinary concentration allows the student to receive a Bachelor’s Degree in Veterinary Science, meeting the requirements for most Veterinary Schools as well as the requirements for the two-year, AVMA-accredited program in Veterinary Technology. Students are advised that the requirements of each Veterinary School are different, and that they may need to take additional courses to meet the pre-requisite requirements of a specific school. Students should be prepared to begin the application process at the end of the Junior year and may receive feedback at that time on how they might make their application stronger.
An integral part of the program is the Lenfest Animal Health Center. This on-campus veterinary clinic treats hundreds of animals annually and allows students to gain valuable hands-on clinical experience as part of the curriculum. In addition to the veterinary clinic on campus, field trips are made to local shelters and farm animal facilities. These out-reach programs give the students experiences with a wide range of animal species. Supplementing the didactic course work is an externship in which the student receives hands-on training in an approved research facility, private veterinary practice or veterinary teaching facility.

Recently, animal science has been extended from traditional farm animal like cattle, pigs, chickens, etc. to wild birds, fish, experimental animals and pets so that animal science now takes in every animal that humans use as objects of resource. Overcoming the limitation of the early industry, animal science has changed as a comprehensive industry that now embraces the industry of processing and distribution. The area of animal science studies has been enlarged and specialized through improving production and inventing new functional materials by the automation of equipment, and bioengineering technique. The purpose of these studies is to accept the change of the new era, to develop studies of animal science and its industry, and to encourage excellent individuals to work in the practical industrial sites.
