Veterinary Degrees Online

The special program for high school graduates is designed for qualified and motivated high school students who seek a career in veterinary medicine. The Integrated Pre Veterinary – Veterinary Program (INTEPREV) is an attempt to eliminate the sharp division between pre veterinary and veterinary education and also to shorten the time required for obtaining the Doctor of Veterinary (D.V.M) degree to six (6) years.

The program (INTEPREV) also allows the matriculation of students from around the world regardless of the individual variations of the educational system of their home country.

Students are selected for the program (INTEPREV) in the senior year of high school. There are no specific high school course requirements, but applicants are required to take either SAT, ACT or College Board examinations. Of great importance to the Admission Committee are such factors as interest in the humanities, sciences, evidence of intellectual curiosity and extracurricular activities.

The first year of the program is devoted to the study of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, English Composition, Medical Terminology and Spanish.

The masters program in the Department of Fisheries, Animal and Veterinary Science requires the GRE and an undergraduate major in the biological sciences with a concentration in animal science, fisheries science, marine biology, microbiology, preveterinary medicine, or zoology, or a postgraduate professional degree (M.D., D.V.M., V.M.D.); one year of organic chemistry and physics. Courses in statistics, histology, and physiology are strongly recommended. The TOEFL is required of students from countries where English is not the predominantly spoken and written language. Admission requirements for the Ph.D. degree program are the same as those for the masters degree except for an additional Ph.D. qualifying examination normally administered one year after matriculation into the program.
