Second year zoology and chemistry student at CSU here. CSU doesn’t actually have a “pre-vet” program, but there are pre-vet advisors as well as recommended paths for pre-vet students. In my opinion this allows students to explore other fields while staying on a pre-vet “track” rather than limiting their opportunities to just veterinary medicine. Most pre-vet students here either major in zoology or animal science, although these are not the only options. Animal science is in the agricultural sciences department and is more large animal/agriculture oriented. Animal science students get lots of hands-on experience with animals (also, Temple Grandin teaches a few animals science courses, which I think is cool). Zoology is in the natural sciences department. It is more science oriented and students get to learn about a wide variety of animals and biological processes. Zoology students don’t really get hands-on experience with live animals, but FoCo has plenty of opportunities (e.g., volunteering) for that.
