The University of Saskatchewan offers a four-year program in Veterinary Medicine, leading to a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. Prior to admission to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, applicants must complete a minimum of 60 credit units in pre-veterinary medicine.
Enrollment to the College is limited and very competitive. Some students may complete the pre-veterinary medicine requirements in two years. Because the program load is heavy and the competition for entry is very keen, students are urged to spread their program over a longer period and to take the standard first-year courses for the B.S.A. program. Applicants wishing to enter the Western College of Veterinary Medicine can take their first year of pre-veterinary medicine studies at Parkland College through the U of S College of Arts & Sciences and the College of Agriculture & Bioresources. |
