Pre-Veterinary Medicine

All veterinary schools require applicants to have taken undergraduate courses in chemistry, biology, mathematics, and physics. Exact requirements vary from school to school. Admission is highly competitive and is based on several factors including GPA (with an emphasis on required courses), scores on the Veterinary Aptitude Test and interview. The State of North Dakota has agreements with a number of veterinary schools reserving openings for North Dakota residents, and the state pays a portion of the tuition. Students planning to seek tuition support from North Dakota for an out-of-state school should notify both the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education and their Dickinson State University adviser. Contact the Department of Natural Sciences for specific curriculum.
