Once your bachelor's degree is complete, you will need to take the GRE exam to be accepted into a veterinary school. Once in veterinary school, courses will focus in anatomy, nutrition, physiology, virology, pathobiology, diseases, and other animal-specific groups. This is also where you will be required to participate in many research studies and science lab experiments.
