This program is designed for entry into the University of Minnesota (U of M) College of Veterinary Medicine. All applicants must have completed at least three years of college work. A degree in biology or chemistry fits best with the required courses, but other degrees are acceptable.
All applicants must take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Applicants must also apply through the Veterinary Medical College Application Service (VMCAS), and they must meet the application deadline of October 1. For general admission and other useful information, applicants are encouraged to visit the VMCAS website at www.aavmc.org; click on VMCAS. Students planning to apply to other schools of veterinary medicine should consult the entry requirements of their chosen veterinary schools. Students should meet early with an advisor to plan their programs of study.
