When
HiVE (Honors in Veterinary Education)
The University of Arizona W.A. Franke Honors HiVE Early Assurance Program allows academically talented students to gain early admission to the University of Arizona’s College of Veterinary Medicine (UA-CVM).
About the Program
The University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine is looking for a cohort of applicants who are poised to be the next generation of veterinarians. The goal of the program is to introduce a small group of W.A. Franke Honors students (up to 5 participants) to the University CVM’s active-learning and team-based curriculum, interactive case-based problem solving, live animal lab experiences, team and professional learning communities within a hybrid-distributive model.
The cohort will follow an academic plan to complete all veterinary medicine school prerequisite coursework as well as individual learning modules to provide an early start to the content found in the veterinary medical school curriculum. Once admitted to the program, students will participate in the summer UArizona Franke Honors VetCat Early Assurance Program between their junior and senior year. This summer program will provide students with an immersive, mentored experience with UArizona CVM faculty and veterinary medicine students. Following this summer experience, participants will complete senior year requirements, including the Honors thesis, before beginning veterinary school.
