Pre-Veterinary Medicine

Pre-Veterinary Medicine at the University of Alberta is intended to allow the student to meet the entry requirements of the University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (UCVM) as well as other veterinary schools. Students apply to their chosen veterinary program once admission requirements are met, usually after two or more years of study. Each veterinary school may have admission restrictions, including quotas, based on provincial residency and citizenship status. For detailed information on residence policy and admissions procedures, contact the Admissions Office of the desired veterinary school.

Pre-Veterinary Medicine students register in the BSc Agriculture Program (Animal Science major) or the BSc Animal Health Program (any major). Specialized advising will be provided to Pre-Veterinary Medicine students.
