When
Honors in Veterinary Education Program (HiVE)
The University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine is seeking a cohort of applicants poised to become the next generation of veterinarians. The goal of the Early Assurance Program is to introduce a small group of W.A. Franke Honors students (up to 5 participants) to the College of Veterinary Medicine's active, team-based curriculum, live animal lab experiences, and professional learning communities before matriculating as full-time DVM students.
Once admitted to the program, students will participate in the summer Arizona Franke Honors VetCat Early Assurance Program between their junior and senior year. This summer program will provide students with an immersive, mentored experience with Arizona CVM faculty and veterinary medicine students. Following this summer experience, participants will complete senior year requirements, including the Honors thesis, before beginning veterinary school.
Students who have applied through VMCAS are not eligible for HiVE (Honors in Veterinary Education) program.
