Unfortunately with any degree you will be required to take classes that have nothing to do with your major.
My DH is on his last semester for a degree in human resources and he has taken many classes that do not relate to his field of study but they are required. It makes no sense to me.

I saw a program on a guy who did up chemistry/physics/allgebra advice for his niece so she could pass some highschool coures. It became so popular on the net that it now available to others on numerous subjects. He had just won a grant or accomadation from Pres. Obabama? Maybe you can find his program and get some help. I sure wish they had this stuff when I struggled through school.

I don't know if this will make you feel any better,,,but I know a lady that has a Dr. degree in Bio chemistry and she works in a lab for IAMS dog food....she said ...the chemical balance in the dog food was important for their health...oh well maybe you'll get a good laugh out of this anyway.....

Part of the reason for going to college is to stretch your brain. That is often the reason for requiring off the wall courses, according to some professors. Take that idea as it fits your thinking.

Remember that schools are businesses too! One woman in my class chose all of her electives to qualify for a second degree...eennt...the school said no. she needed ? additional classes. It made an additional year to finnish. Maybe you have to declare a double major to start your courses.

I think I am trailing off your original post. Sorry.
Wishing you the best with your classes.

Oh, I think Bio Chemistry is totally related to the field but not all aspects. That is my point is that we only have 12 days of class and we have spent 4 of them studying what we don't need to know and will never do anything with. I think those 5 days could have been spent more wisely on more pertinent information.

You are intelligent; it is required so pass it (smile). The real goal is go become a Vet Tech and that is where you will need to keep focusing. I believe you will do great and be a wonderful Vet Tech.

Would you be able to provide more information about this? It would be kind of hard to find this program with just the details given here....
