Pre Veterinarian Major at Mary Washington College

Pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, and pre-veterinary medicine are career paths and not majors. While most students planning to enter one of these fields select biology, chemistry, or psychology as a major, pre-medical, pre-dental, and pre-vet students may select any major. The University of Mary Washington has a pre-medical/pre-dental advisor and a pre-veterinary advisor to guide interested students through these curriculums. In addition to meeting with their assigned Academic Advisors, students with an interest in medical or dental school should meet with the Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Advisor (Dr. Loesser-Casey, kloesser@umw.edu) early in the first semester to discuss the requirements for medical or dental school. Students with an interest in veterinary medicine should meet with the Pre-Veterinary Advisor (Dr. Lewis, llewis@umw.edu).

New students interested in entering one of these career fields should complete the following courses during their first semester: CHEM 111, BIOL 121, MATH 121, ENGL 101, and a Physical Education course or a General Education course. New students with AP, IB or transfer credit which substitutes for one or more of these first semester courses should confer with the pre-med or pre-vet advisor during the first week of classes if they have questions concerning alternative coursework.
