Honors Program
in Veterinary Medicine 
The Honors College Pre-Admitted Veterinary Medicine Program enables interested students to complete a B.S./D.V.M. in seven years rather than eight. Academically qualified students may be admitted provisionally to the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine upon graduation from high school, entry into the University Honors College, and successful completion of one year in the Honors College if they have at least a 3.5 cumulative gpa. Students who are interested in this program are advised during the summer before their freshman year at Washington State University regarding appropriate courses to complete during their first year in college. In the week preceding the sophomore year, applicants for the pre-admitted program who have at least a 3.5 cumulative gpa, are interviewed by the College of Veterinary Medicine. Student applications include a letter of recommendation from two WSU professors, including at least one Honors College professor, a letter from a veterinarian with whom the applicant has already worked, and a personal statement from the student explaining his or her interest in the field of veterinary medicine. Students are notified immediately following the interviews regarding admission into the pre-admitted program. Students who are chosen will complete their sophomore and junior years in their undergraduate majors and enter the College of Veterinary Medicine during their senior year if they have at least a 3.5 cumulative gpa. The first year in the College of Veterinary Medicine will satisfy the final year of the undergraduate degree. Students who are not chosen for the pre-admitted program are encouraged to apply for admission to the College of Veterinary Medicine after they have completed the prerequisites for admission.
Additional information regarding this program is available at the Honors Center, (335-4505) or by contacting the College of Veterinary Medicine directly.
