Veterinarians diagnose, treat, or research diseases and injuries of animals. Some veterinarians conduct research, inspect livestock, or care for pets and companion animals.
To become a veterinarian, students will need to continue their studies at a veterinary school. The B.S. in Animal Science provides the curricular requirements necessary for applying to veterinary schools. Acceptable pre-requisites, however, vary by institution.
