Veterinary Technology Program Prerequisites

Are you a high school student?

If you are a high school student who is interested in our program, you can enter TAMUK as a student in the department of Animal Science and Veterinary Technology with an interest in Veterinary Technology. This will set you on a path to complete the required prerequisite courses prior to admission to the Veterinary Technology Program. High school students cannot apply directly to the program at this time.

I want to be a Veterinarian!

If you are interested in becoming a Veterinarian, first consider joining the Vet. Tech. side by reading our Why Veterinary Technology page! If you are still interested in becoming a Veterinarian, we recommend following the Pre-Vet Animal Science degree plan. The Veterinary Technology Program degree plan will not fulfill the requirements for admission to a college of veterinary medicine.
