Pre-Veterinary Medicine Program
Students may complete the pre-veterinary medicine requirements in two years. Because the program load is heavy and the competition for entry is very keen, students are urged to spread their program over a longer period and to take the standard first-year courses for the B.S.A. program.
Candidates of exceptional ability who seek to complete the entrance requirements in two years are advised to take the following courses:
Year 1 AGRC 111.3, 112.3; BIOL 120.3, 224.3; CHEM 112.3, 250.3; ENG 110.6 or two of ENG 111.3, 112.3, 113.3, 114.3; MATH 101.3 and PLSC 314.3.
Year 2 AGRC 113.3; ANSC 212.3; BIOC 200.3, 211.3; BIOL 226.3; one of CHEM 115.3, or BIOC 212.3; ECON 111.3; FAMS 212.3; PHYS 115.3 and 117.3.
It is essential that all students consult a departmental program advisor each spring to develop an approved program of studies for the following year. Successful completion of the pre-veterinary medicine course requirements does not assure admission to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. Students can continue a B.S.A. degree with little timetable and programming difficulty in most fields of specialization.
Students should consult the
Admissions and the
Western College of Veterinary Medicine sections of the
Calendar regarding details of admission procedures.
