Curriculum Guides
Curriculum Guides are suggested courses of study which may include more or less
than the RSCC degree requirements. They are not intended to represent requirements
for any particular college or university. Students should consult articulation agreements,
the catalog of the school to which they intend to transfer, and their advisor for
specific degree requirements. Actual RSCC degree requirements appear on page 93.
Pre-Veterinary Degree: Associate of Science
This course of study covers the first two years of the pre-professional work for students
who plan to study veterinary medicine. At least one year of additional college
level study will be required to meet the minimum requirements for admission to veterinary
medicine. It is strongly advised that pre-veterinary students plan their courses
so that as well as fulfilling the veterinary medicine prerequisites, they are simultaneously
fulfilling the requirements for a bachelor’s degree. Most veterinary medicine colleges
require students make a satisfactory score on the Veterinary College Admission
Test (VCAT). Additional courses may be necessary to enter veterinary programs.
Consult your RSCC advisor and senior institution.
