Pre-Vet At Cal Poly Without Being Animal Science?

Call the biology department and ask if you can speak with a professor or the chair. They would know, and don’t settle for an ambiguous answer. You need to know whether bio has animals or not, and whether you can take animal science classes (or any other animal related classes like animal husbandry) as a bio major so you get experience.

Try Reddit for sure too. They have a Cal Poly dedicated subreddit which lots of current Cal Poly students lurk.

Not sure how far you are from SLO, visiting the bio department personally can be a great idea too if feasible.

Poly has a lot of experience with vet school (we are Cow Poly after all) through its animal science program because a lot of the students end up applying for vet school afterward. So I am pretty sure there is an expert to answer your question.
