Pre-Veterinary
Bachelor of Science in Biology (Pre-Veterinary Track)
Veterinarians are professionals who diagnose and treat animals and aim to bring health and restoration to their bodies. Our Pre-Vet program is designed to help students succeed in gaining acceptance to veterinary school after graduating from Evangel.
The Evangel University Department of Science and Technology is dedicated to the spiritual, academic and social growth of every student. The department’s purpose is to provide an excellent scientific education that is thoroughly integrated with the University’s emphasis on the development of strong Christian character. Within this framework, students must contend with new scientific, social, ethical and technological challenges. Students learn to communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively and exhibit analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Our pre-vet curriculum is tailored to provide the knowledge that students need for completing the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM or VMD) degree at a school accredited by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Most pre-vet students choose a major in biology. The rigors demanded by courses in biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics challenge the students to successfully prepare for their future careers. Students are provided with practical experiences through laboratory studies in biology courses.
