Veterinarians are important medical specialists that diagnose, treat and prevent illnesses in animals, from your family pet, to wild animals at the zoo, to livestock.
To become a licensed veterinarian, you must graduate from a four-year program at an accredited college of veterinary medicine. Most veterinary schools require students to have completed a significant amount of undergraduate coursework—ranging from 45 to 90 credit hours—but most prefer that you obtain your bachelor’s degree before applying.
Our pre-veterinary program will prepare you to meet the admission requirements of Purdue University’s School of Veterinary Medicine. If you have another school in mind during your studies at Ball State, your assigned departmental advisor will be happy to help you stay on track for that school’s specific admissions requirements.
Ball State’s pre-veterinary program does not grant a degree, so you must also declare a major of your choosing (typically biology or chemistry). For students who choose to earn a bachelor’s degree, you will need to complete the requirements for the pre-veterinary program, your chosen major, and the University Core Curriculum.
