*Due to the COVID-19 crisis, many higher education institutions around the country are opting for a Pass/Not Pass grading option and online instruction, therefore, the following changes are in effect:
Core subjects may vary as to the number of semesters required depending on the overall design and content of the core courses on a particular campus (e.g. 1 semester vs. 2 semesters.) Please consult with your undergraduate academic advisor and refer to the course descriptions on the VMCAS web site.
+This course should be a complete upper-division course; half of a 2-semester sequence will not satisfy this requirement.
Purdue pre-veterinary students should follow their undergraduate programs of study regardless of minimums indicated.
