“The BU Marine Program curriculum focuses on critical thinking, problem solving, and understanding scientific literature, which are all important skills to have as an aspiring veterinarian.”
Through the Marine Semester, Chris had the opportunity to study whale populations, water quality changes, and work on coral reef health and restoration. These experiences not only helped him stand out when applying to vet school, but also helped him get accepted to AQUAVET, a summer program that teaches students the basics of aquatic animal medicine. Chris plans on specializing in aquatic animal medicine, and is currently enrolled in the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.
