Pre-Veterinary Medicine Program
This program, administered by the Medical Professions Committee, is designed to prepare students for admission to many schools of veterinary medicine. Few students are accepted into a veterinary school prior to earning the baccalaureate degree, so students should plan to choose a major field, such as Biological Sciences, and complete requirements for graduation as part of their preparation. Application is through a central application service, and students must take the GRE exam.
The following minimum requirements should be met before they apply:
