The pre-veterinary major at Cornerstone University prepares you to care for all God’s creatures in a clinical setting. You will learn the basics of animal biology, medicine and treatment for work at a veterinary office, animal rescue or wildlife rehabilitation center.

As a pre-veterinary major at Cornerstone, you will explore more of God’s creation by learning about the biology, science and chemistry of animals. You will then apply these principles to the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and injuries and other important procedures. Our students find innovative ways to learn both inside and outside the classroom through hands-on experience and rigorous academics.

As a disciple of Christ, you understand that it’s important to be a steward of all of God’s creatures. A pre-veterinary degree from Cornerstone will prepare you to continue your education to become a certified veterinarian or vet technician and mobilize your career.
