In a sports medicine program, students can learn more about how the body moves, common sports injuries, exercise medicine, and sports science. Examples of study topics may include event medicine, rehabilitation, injury prevention, spine injuries, and exercise physiology.

Studies in pre-veterinary medicine may appeal to students who enjoy working outdoors and receiving real-world experience in pre-veterinary medicine. Real-world experience may help a student determine which direction to pursue after taking courses in a pre-vet program.
