Requirements
The degree program, the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture with a major in animal health, was developed in 1988. This program was designed, in close cooperation with the College of Veterinary Medicine, specifically for students entering veterinary school after three years of pre-veterinary study in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Requirements for the degree may be met only after successfully completing the first year of study in the College of Veterinary Medicine.
Transfer students with 40 or more credit hours must have a 2.7 overall grade point average for admission.
Students normally apply for admission to the College of Veterinary Medicine during their third year of study in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences pre-veterinary medicine program. Students not admitted to Veterinary Medicine may continue their study in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences for a fourth year to complete the requirements for the B.S.A. degree in any major they choose. Several degree programs within the College are compatible with the pre-veterinary medicine program.
