Pre-Veterinary Medicine (Co-op Optional)

Program Overview

Veterinary medicine focuses on the health of all animal species, from food-producing animals and companion animals to wildlife. Veterinarians pursue careers in private practice, specialized disciplines, public service, research, or industry.

Students studying Pre-Veterinary Studies at the University of Manitoba can complete the required courses through the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences or the Faculty of Science.  After two years of study, students are eligible to apply for admission to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM), where they can pursue the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program. Students who do not gain admission to the WCVM can complete their chosen degree in Agriculture or Science in the normal amount of time and seek a career in science or animal agriculture.

Co-op option
Students in Pre-Veterinary Studies can benefit from Cooperative Education programs, which formally integrates the student’s academic study with work experience in employer organizations found in industry, government and the farming profession. The program can expand their knowledge and experience with animals—which is a key component the Western College for Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) at the University of Saskatchewan uses to assess applications.
