<p>what is the difference between veterinarian and pre-vet?
Thanks.</p>
<p>Pre-vet is an undergraduate focus. There is no pre-vet major as such. Rather there are certain prerequisite courses for admission to vet school. These courses include at least a year of biology, a year of physics, a year of calculus, 2 years of chemistry (general and organic), and, depending on the particular vet schools to which one is applying, some additional courses also may be required, such as microbiology or biochemistry. As long as you complete these prerequisite courses, you can major in any number of fields, though most pre-vet students major in a bioscience field or animal science. Vet schools also require applicants to have considerable experience working with animals. Veterinary school is a graduate professional school which you enter after completing an undergraduate degree. This is where you get additional basic science courses and clinical training related to the diagnosis and treatment of animals.
