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 suggested sequence of courses.

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 Course & Program Catalogue regarding details of admission procedures.
