Learn More About the Program

Graduate and medical school requirements vary depending on the discipline you want to pursue. Our Pre-Medical Professions Committee will help you tailor a course of study specific to your academic and career goals. Many pre-health professions students choose to major in biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, or neuroscience, but you can customize your program to match your interests.

LVC taught me time management, discipline, and focus. Its science programs are top-notch. I was so far ahead of many of my colleagues in veterinary school due to my collegiate studies.
