Most first-year students enroll in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences or the College of Engineering.

The Tippie College of Business admits highly qualified first-year students through its Direct Admission Program. The college admits all other students upon satisfactory completion of one to four semesters of pre-business study in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. If you are interested in this major but don’t qualify for Direct Admission, apply to the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.

The College of Nursing admits highly qualified first-year students through its Early Admission Program. Most first-year students interested in nursing enroll in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, then apply to the College of Nursing at the beginning of their sophomore or junior year.

The colleges of Education and Pharmacy admit qualified applicants at the beginning of their sophomore or junior years. First-year students interested in pharmacy or education apply to the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.

The College of Medicine has undergraduate programs in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, Radiation Sciences, or Nuclear Medicine Technology. Students interested in these majors should apply to the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.

Required courses vary from one school to another, and students are encouraged to research various programs early in
their undergraduate program. The veterinary school at the University of Minnesota requires the following coursework:
two semesters of biology
two semesters of general chemistry
one semester of organic chemistry
one semester of biochemistry
one semester of mathematics
two semesters of physics
one semester of genetics
one semester of microbiology
two semesters of English
Four courses from history and social sciences, arts and humanities are also required. No more than two of these courses
should be from one single department.

In order to meet the expectations of students and the demands of society for future professionals, the teaching of Veterinary Sciences covers a wide range of applications, ganool cover 11 spread over 2 semesters of courses and studies include:
