Majors

Although Kentucky does not have a school of veterinary medicine, a limited number of students who are residents of Kentucky are selected to enter training in veterinary medicine at Auburn University in Auburn, AL., and Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, AL.

It is sometimes possible to enter veterinary school with 3 years of study at NKU. However, because many more students apply to veterinary schools than are accepted, it is strongly advised that all pre-vet students plan their curricula in such a way that the addition of a 4th year of coursework will satisfy NKU’s requirements for the bachelor’s degree, usually in biological sciences or chemistry.

To design a 4-year curriculum that fulfills the pre-veterinary requirements and the requirements for a bachelor’s degree, interested students should work closely with their advisors.
