Is human anatomy considered a lower division or upper division science class by vet schools?
It's a lower-division course at my 4-year institution. I already graduated though and I'm considering taking anatomy at a community college, and it's also a lower-division course there. I just want to make sure that vet schools will accept it since many of them will only accept upper-division courses if they're taken at a 4-year university. Since it's lower-division at the community college I want to take it at, they should be able to accept it right?
Is it actually a pre-req at a school you are applying to? Usually the "upper-division courses must be taken at a 4 year university" policy only applies to pre-reqs. I haven't actually seen any schools require anatomy. But definitely check with the schools you are applying to, they will be happy to let you know if they will accept a course.It's a lower-division course at my 4-year institution.

I'm not sure about other schools, but Iowa State at least requires either an anatomy or physiology course:Is it actually a pre-req at a school you are applying to?

(no lab required) Human anatomy and physiology will fulfill this requirement. A single course in anatomy or physiology is preferred over an anatomy/physiology combined course.
