This includes two or more years of preveterinary training and four years of professional training. The preveterinary requirements may be completed at LSU or at any other accredited college or university offering courses of the quality and content of those prescribed in the LSU General Catalog . The minimum requirement of 66 semester hours, including 20 hours of elective courses, may be completed in two years. Successful completion of a preveterinary program does not ensure admission to the school for professional training. Currently, there are more qualified applicants each year than there are spaces available to the entering class.
Scholastic achievement is measured by performance in the prescribed preprofessional courses.
A grade of less than C in a required course is unacceptable. Physical education activity courses may not be used as electives for meeting preprofessional requirements. Credit earned through advanced standing is acceptable, but is not used in the computation of the grade-point average. Evaluation of the applicant s record in the preprofessional program is made in accordance with LSU procedures. Granting of credit for CLEP subject examinations may be considered in those subjects recommended by various departments of the University upon receipt of test scores indicating the student meets the minimum acceptable scores required by those departments.
