Students wishing to complete the preprofessional requirements for veterinary medicine may do so within a variety of curricula. Science course prerequisites are similar to those required for most post-graduate medical professions curricula.
Because of the competition for admission, students should strongly consider completing a bachelor's degree. In recent years, there have been approximately eight applicants for each space available in the entering class for the D.V.M. (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) program. The mean grade point average of recently admitted students has been 3.5.
