Based on placement test results, students may be required to take MATF1002, Math for Health Sciences, or ENGF1001, Foundations of Writing, concurrently with or prior to clinical courses. Early placement testing is advised to avoid delay in beginning clinical coursework.

The aforementioned grade requirements are minimums. Due to the competitive selection process for the Veterinary Science majors, only the most academically qualified students will be directly admitted into these programs.

Students who are not selected for the Veterinary Science programs may still be admitted to the college as an Undecided student. They can then take the appropriate courses to allow them to meet the admission requirements of the Veterinary Science programs.
