Veterinary Degrees Online

Professional schools (medical, dental, pharmaceutical, veterinary) do not require a degree in the sciences for admission to their programs. These professional schools consider majors in almost any discipline to be acceptable for admission.

The basic “core” requirements for admission to most of these professional schools typically include the following:Chemistry 16-20 credits
Physics 8 credits
Biology 4-8 credits

Most medical schools require a minimum of:
1 year of General Chemistry with lab
1 year of Organic Chemistry with lab
1 year of General Biology with lab
1 year of College Physics with lab

Most first-year students enroll in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences or the College of Engineering.

The Tippie College of Business admits highly qualified first-year students through its Direct Admission Program. The college admits all other students upon satisfactory completion of one to four semesters of pre-business study in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. If you are interested in this major but don’t qualify for Direct Admission, apply to the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.

The College of Nursing admits highly qualified first-year students through its Early Admission Program. Most first-year students interested in nursing enroll in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, then apply to the College of Nursing at the beginning of their sophomore or junior year.

The colleges of Education and Pharmacy admit qualified applicants at the beginning of their sophomore or junior years. First-year students interested in pharmacy or education apply to the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.

The College of Medicine has undergraduate programs in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, Radiation Sciences, or Nuclear Medicine Technology. Students interested in these majors should apply to the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.

These professional schools accept students with majors in a variety of fields. Regardless of major, however, a strong science and math background and a high score on the appropriate admission’s test increase the probability of acceptance into the professional school of choice. Most students at NSU who are planning these careers major in biology with minors in chemistry and/or psychology.
