C. Recommended Electives
The program listed above is designed to satisfy the course admission requirements of the NYS College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University. Additional courses in biology and chemistry are recommended, but not required. They might include such courses as:
BIOL 205-206 Human Anatomy and Physiology I & II (8 s.h.)
BIOL 212 General Genetics (4 s.h.)
CHEM 351 Physical Chemistry I (3 s.h.)
CHEM 361 Analytical Chemistry I (4 s.h.)
Notes:
- Consult current catalog descriptions of courses concerning prerequisites and time of year when offered in order to plan properly in advance.
- This program will satisfy the course requirements for admission at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell, but not necessarily all veterinary schools. Students have the responsibility to check entrance requirements for schools they are interested in.
- It is essential that students in preprofessional programs confer regularly with advisors for these programs, beginning at the time of admission to SUNY Oneonta. Questions about the PreVeterinary and other prehealth profession programs should be directed to the Program Coordinator, Dr. Lawrence Armstrong, 216 Physical Science Building.
