General Requirements for Students in the 马 Pre-Veterinary Science Program

Admission to professional veterinary school programs is arduous. The 马 Pre-Veterinary Science program combines academic rigor and experience in the basic and equine sciences to help the student prepare a high-quality application to enter veterinary school.

Students in the major must earn grades of C- or above in biology, chemistry and equine anatomy and physiology at Lake Erie College. One probationary semester for freshman is permitted. Freshman may repeat a course once for grade improvement above D+. The student’s cumulative GPA must be 3.0 or higher at the end of their fourth semester on the LEC campus. Transfer students must meet with the Dean of the 马研究学院 for transcript review and to request admission to the program. For graduation in this major, all 马 Pre-Veterinary Science majors must achieve a minimum 2.平均绩点7分，至少3分.累计专业GPA. Students who are not making acceptable academic progress may be dismissed from the program.

Many colleges of veterinary medicine require specific science and mathematics coursework, as well as coursework in other areas such as animal science, 免疫学, 细胞生物学, 遗传学, 心理学, 和社会学. 马 Pre-Veterinary Science students should seek advice from pre-professional advisors to ensure that their course selections will be appropriate prerequisites for admission to the veterinary medical schools of their choice.

Essential skills and proficiency testing will be assessed periodically for students in this program. Riding classes are an option choice for students in this program. Students who do not take a riding class are not required to comply with Rider Fitness or Riders Size components of the 马 Studies Student and Rider Eligibility Standards. All other eligibility standards for equine studies students must be met by the student.
