Pre-Veterinary Medicine

The College of Veterinary Medicine was established in 1905. Since then, more than 7,900 graduates have been granted the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. The college's nationally recognized instructional and research programs provide the highest standards of professional education.

We offer several options for students interested in various aspects of veterinary medicine, including companion animals, exotic species and domestic livestock. One option is to enroll in the pre-vet agriculture program and complete the required 64 hours of pre-professional requirements. The other option is to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree while working toward admission to veterinary school.
