Vet School Requirements

Pre-Health Career Advising

Please Note:

• Phys 125 is a 1-unit lab that corresponds to Phys 121 or 141 and is generally taken during your last year at Cal Poly. In order to get on the waitlist, ASCI majors should contact the Animal Science Department at animalscience@calpoly.edu. This lab will be deactivated once semesters being in Fall 2026 and the lab will be reincorporated with the lecture component. Please plan your courses accordingly. If you can, try to take PHYS 121 or 141 and 125 before the end of quarters. Otherwise hold off on starting that series until once semesters begin.
