Beginning October 15, students in the University of Arizona Honors College will have the ability to apply for early admission to the College of Veterinary Medicine. Our goal is to introduce a small group of Arizona Honors students (up to 10 participants) to our active-learning and team-based curriculum, interactive case-based problem solving, live animal lab experiences, and professional learning communities within a hybrid-distributive model.

The honors cohort will follow an academic plan to complete all veterinary medicine school prerequisite coursework and individual learning modules and get an early start on content found in our veterinary medical school curriculum. Once admitted, students will participate in the Arizona Honors VetCat Early Assurance Program summer program between their junior and senior years. This summer program will provide students with an immersive, mentored experience with Arizona CVM faculty and veterinary medicine students. Following this experience, participants will complete senior year requirements, including the Honors thesis, before beginning veterinary school.
