Pre-Veterinary Program

Ball State University

Veterinarians are important medical specialists that diagnose, treat, and prevent illnesses in animals such as household pets, outdoor livestock, and even wildlife at the zoo. 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.
