Would Biomedical Science or Animal Science benefit me more for my Veterinary Medicine degree?
I am going to college in the fall and I have the option of a biomedical major or an animal science major. I want to work towards a Veterinary Medicine degree after my undergraduate, so I want to make the right decision. After researching this question I keep getting the response that to apply for Vet Med it doesn't really matter what your undergraduate major is, but honestly I would rather not go into my graduate degree blind. I just want to know which one would benefit me more in my studies that way I already have an idea of what is going on in Vet Med. #veterinary #biomedical-science #animal-science #veterinary-medicine

Kialy,
Sounds like you are on the right track. Either biomedical science or animal science are good options for vet school. Animal science gives more options and a better background in some of the husbandry aspects that are important for large animal veterinarians. Biomedical science generally gives a more focused pre-professional school degree plan but is often not very flexible if you want to take courses outside of that track. I would suggest visiting the collage and meeting with each department and choosing the one that fits you better.
