Most pre-veterinary students major in Animal Science, Biology or Chemistry because of the number of courses required in these areas but keep in mind that other majors are possible.
Students have the greatest success in applying to a veterinary school in the state in which they reside. For most River Falls students these schools include the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Minnesota in St. Paul.
These schools have similar course requirements for admission. Application to other Schools of Veterinary Medicine is also possible.
