The areas of study available at Coe provide excellent preparation
for students seeking to enter a professional school or graduate
program. As early as possible in their undergraduate years, students
should coordinate a four-year academic program with the entrance
requirements of the graduate institutions in which they are interested.
The course of study for Coe Pre-Veterinary normally includes
an emphasis on biology and chemistry, with additional related
study possible in physics and mathematics. Coe's biology, chemistry
and pre-med clubs can help you meet and interact with students
who share your interests.
Because some students at Coe College are interested in careers
in Veterinary Medicine, special faculty advisors are available
to confer with those who want to fulfill the requirements for
entrance into postgraduate training for this area. Your Coe advisor
can facilitate interships and other practical experiences to help
you learn more about the professional specialities in which you
are interested.
Program Outcomes:
Coe graduates have an excellent record of admission to leading
graduate and professional schools.
Preparing Yourself In College:
- Follow the pre-health course of study. This will include science
requirements - usually biology courses, chemistry and physics.
- Contact a Biology faculty member or one of the prehealth advisors
(Dr. Dean or Dr. Tauer). They will help you to plan out your
schedule of classes. You will also have the opportunity to set
up an internship, get experience, and keep your application
process on schedule.
- Check with the veterinary schools where you want to apply
for specific courses they will require for admission. You may
need to add some courses to meet a school's special requirements,
and these courses can be taken through general education requirements.
- Visit your own family veterinarian and ask him or her questions
about a career in veterinary medicine.
- Join the Premed Club, Biology, or Chemistry Clubs and enjoy
the company of students with similar interests.
