Pre-Professional Programs
If you are interested in Pre-Veterinary Medicine, Pre-Medicine, Pre-Pharmacy or Pre-Law, CASNR has majors that will allow you to pursue you goal of advanced professional study. Pre-professional requirements can be met within almost any major at OSU, but because of the strong science foundation within the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, our majors are popular with students interested in pursuing professional degrees.
Choosing A Major:
Animal Science, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Entomology, Plant and Soil Sciences and Agricultural Economics can all boast alumni who now are practicing Veterinary Medicine, General Medicine or serve as Medical Researchers, Vet Med Researchers, Heart Surgeons, Pharmacists or Dentists. The strong scientific, yet applied, undergraduate degree programs in CASNR, combined with student leadership opportunities are contributing factors that allow CASNR students to achieve their goal of advanced study within the broad discipline of medical studies.
Animal Science and Biochemistry have specific degree sheets for Pre-Medical and Pre-Veterinary Medical studies. Students interested in pharmacy have also pursued both of these undergraduate degrees. Certainly, students who enjoy science, biology will also enjoy the upper division courses offered in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Animal Science or any other science based program in CASNR.
CASNR's Agribusiness major is another option for those students interested in Pre-Law. Three former OSU Truman Scholars were graduates of the OSU Agribusiness/Pre-Law major and have completed their law degrees at Yale as well as the University of Oklahoma. For those students in Environmental Law, a B.S. in Environmental Science within CASNR is an excellent foundation to build upon prior to acceptance into law school.
