The required pre-professional and science courses which should be taken and passed during the pre-veterinary program are:

General Chemistry with Laboratory
6 semester credits,

or 8 quarter credits.

Organic Chemistry with Laboratory
6 semester credits

or 8 quarter credits.

Biochemistry

(Emphasis on Animal Biochemistry and Metabolism)
3 semester credits

or 4 quarter credits.

Genetics
3 semester credits

or 4 quarter credits.

This is a specialized three-year program offered by FAFS to graduate students with proper knowledge in AVSCerinary microbiology, animal husbandry, nutrition, breeding and basic knowledge in other AVSCerinary disciplines. Graduates of this program do not receive the Diploma of Ingénieur Agricole.
