Bachelor of Arts - Pre-Veterinary

The University of Jamestown offers pre-professional preparation for a number of health-related fields such as medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, podiatry, osteopathy, chiropractic, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. Traditionally, more than 85 percent of University of Jamestown science (biology and chemistry) majors pursue further study or professional degrees in the health professions, graduate research, and/or teaching. Note: Students preparing for health profession programs should obtain scheduling advice from advisors in biology or chemistry before registering for classes.

Collegiate preparation for admission to schools of dentistry, optometry, veterinary, and other health professions is essentially the same as that for medical school. United States dental schools require that applicants take the Dental Admission Test (DAT) and schools of optometry require the Optometry Admission Test (OAT).
