Post-secondary/university requirements You must complete at least 20 prerequisite university-level courses in order to be considered. You are encouraged to work toward a degree in a field of study of interest to you in the event that you are not accepted to the DVM program. No preference is given to those who have completed a first degree, or who have completed the prerequisite courses within a pre-veterinary medicine program. You should complete course work within a degree program at an institution with rigorous entrance requirements and a reputation for academic quality. You must be in good academic standing at, and be eligible to return to, your home institution(s) without any restrictions in order to be considered.
