Students may be admitted to the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) upon completion of the minimum requirements listed below. If students are admitted to the CVM prior to completion of the full four years, they may obtain a bachelor of science in this concentration after successful completion of the freshman year in the CVM. The minimum requirements for admission to the CVM are incorporated in the first three years in the Wildlife Sciences, Pre-Veterinary Medicine Concentration. All minimum requirements must be completed by the end of the spring semester preceding the date of admission to CVM. (See the College of Veterinary Medicine section for additional information.)
