Pre-Veterinary Option

Expert advisors help you fulfill prerequisites and build the skills you need to successfully apply to veterinary school — whether at WSU or elsewhere. Because pre-veterinary requirements include additional science courses, you should begin this option in your freshman year.

For more information on the Pre-Veterinary option, contact Dr. Keith Blatner via email at blatner@wsu.edu or call (509) 335-6166.
