Veterinary Technology Degree Plan
Texas A&M University - Kingsville
Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Animal-Wildlife Veterinary Technology
Below you can find our 2023 degree plan broken into individual semesters. Applicants should apply to the program the fall semester of their Sophomore year. Courses prior to spring semester of the Sophomore year are considered prerequisites for application to the program. That means those courses need to be successfully completed before an applicant can be accepted into the program.
Any scholarship requirements beyond what our degree plan provides are the responsibility of the student.
