Angela’s Answer

Many Colleges of Veterinary Medicine simply require you to complete their "pre-requisite courses" (these cover a variety of topics such as physics, chemistry, algebra, calculus, english/composition, biology) - you DO NOT have to have a Bachelor's degree to apply and get in to a Veterinary Medical School. You must have successfully completed that school's pre-requisites though; so it's important to know exactly what those are because they can differ from one college to the next. Once you've completed your pre-requisites (which you may do either by obtaining a Bachelor's degree or not, again, this is just up to you) then it's a 4 year program to obtain your Veterinary Medical Degree. Plan to tack on additional schooling (2+ years) if you choose to specialize in some field of Veterinary Medicine. It's a long road and will take a lot of hard work, but people do it everyday! Good luck!
