The undergraduate certificate in Pre-Veterinary Medicine is designed to introduce undergraduate students to the magnitude, possibilities, and rigors of veterinary school programs and career options, while being mindful of intangible but critical skills such as communication, collaboration, decision-making, financial literacy, and resilience. These skills will be invaluable tools as students investigate issues that may affect them individually and the veterinary profession as a whole.
