The course requirements for veterinary school vary by school, so it is highly recommended that a student make an appointment with the Pre-veterinary advisor prior to enrolling in any prerequisites for veterinary school.   A pre-professional advisor will review your plans, your progress and discuss future courses of action.  Contact Cheryl Laubacher, Coordinator of Pre-Professional Medical Programs  with questions or to schedule an advising appointment, 216.687.9321.
