Pre-Professional Programs
Pre-Med & Pre-Vet
One in six Cornell undergraduate students intends to pursue a career in human or veterinary medicine. These students can be found in all seven colleges studying myriad subjects, such as: English, textile science, physics, biology, chemistry, computer science, government, philosophy, and entomology. Like all CALS students, those who wish to pursue advanced degrees in medicine are encouraged to choose the undergraduate major that best suits their interests and goals. The flexibility within the CALS curriculum allows motivated students to complete all of their major coursework, while at the same time completing the pre-professional courses required by medical or veterinary schools.
