Degree in Microbiology or Biology??

Hello,

So, I recently got admitted to UC Riverside. However, I applied as a Biology major but got admitted into Microbiology for some reason.
My goal is to go to vet school. Do you think I should stick with the Microbiology or request a major change to Bio? What are the differences when it comes to the curriculum and types of courses anyway?

Thanks so much!
Emma

Take a look at several Vet school requirements and you will find that a Microbiology major should cover all to most of the courses needed to apply. You will have electives so you can fill in any missing courses if needed.

I have linked UC Davis Vet School requirements for reference: https://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/admissions/academic-preparation-preveterinary-required-courses
