Program Learning Outcomes
This biology program option provides students with the basic course requirements to satisfy the first two years of a baccalaureate degree in pre-veterinary medicine or to apply to a veterinary medicine doctoral program that accepts associate degree candidates. Veterinary medicine doctoral programs will require students to complete the GRE, Biochemistry at a different institution and work or volunteer hours in the field.
Students who have completed the program should be able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of theory and practical experience and handling in anatomy, physiology, nutrition, behavior, health, and reproduction of the horse and other animal species
- Demonstrate knowledge of major concepts in animal and equine science, biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics essential for further study in veterinary medicine

Education Unique to Each Student
My experience at RCSJ has been very community oriented. My participation in the STEM club has been invaluable. I've also made other connections, like at Rowan University and Princeton University, offering one-of-a-kind research opportunities.
