What Major and Classes do I need to become a Veterinarian?
Hi I'm Dr. Jasmine Shanelle, a Veterinarian who loves helping future docs navigate the rewarding but turbulent waters of life and veterinary school. Today I'll be discussing the best field to major in to increase your chance of getting into vet school and what classes you'll need to take. Also what your average course load in undergrad will look like.

I’m 27. I wanted to be a vet when I was younger , recently the idea has come to me again . I’ve been looking into schools and programs , I’m extremely nervous about it because I HATE school. I’m going to pray over this and pray that I can do this and stick with it . I’ll be 36 or 37 when I’m done the program which is still very young . I’m excited to fulfill and do things I have a passion for , hopefully I can make a difference

I'm determined. All I want to do is help and care for animals. It's the one thing I want to do in my life. It's more important than anything to be. I'll study and learn as much and as long as I need to. I'm only 13, but I'll do anything it takes. Becoming a veterinarian is my life goal and I'll do whatever it takes to accomplish

@@tinygreenguy968 the reason why diversity matters in the workforce is because it helps the workforce evolve, be innovative and more efficient. For me it’s personal because I want to be a veterinarian but in order for me to learn and experience I want to learn from someone who looks like me because you don’t see a whole lot of black veterinarians. So yes diversity does matter to me and yes not everything has to be about race but when it comes to this, hell yea it will be about diversity and race

I’m taking veterinarian classes after school !
My son needs a mentor. He'll be a HS Sr in the fall BUT hes in a dual credit program that will lead to an associates of science at the local community college. He is also in a career program in the school district that supposed to lead to a Vet Tech Certificate. After completing the 11th grade he did pass the Cert Vet Asst program BUT they are telling him to work 600 hours in a vet office and he'll qualify to take the Vet Tech program. I'm wondering if thats right? Unfortunately, the teacher/advisor left the district after the 1st year. His plans are to go to vet school which is good cause we could use a vet in the family. Anyway, thanks for the video.
I attend a community college which is where I’m working on receiving my associates degree and I’m majoring in biology, I hope to transfer to a university to earn my bachelors. Do you think it’s a smaller chance of me being chosen?
Is there a dual credit in college you can take? I want to get through school kinda quick.

Let’s make this simple, you contact the veterinary school you want to attend and they will send you a packet and yes schools are different in what they require.
