Preveterinary Medical Program
BS/DVM Dual Degree

The BS/DVM dual degree program is designed to meet the needs of students in the preveterinary medical program who do not hold a first degree, and wish to earn a baccalaureate degree at St. George's University while pursuing the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.

Students in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program may complete the requirements for a BS degree in the Life Sciences after completion of the first year of the veterinary medical program.

This dual degree program allows students to complete their entire Doctor of Veterinary Medicine education in seven years, while simultaneously completing the Bachelor of Science degree.  The Bachelor of Science degree is awarded at the successful conclusion of the first year of the veterinary medical program, and the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine is obtained upon successful completion of the final clinical year component of the veterinary medical curriculum.

Students who are accepted into the first term of the preveterinary medical program and meet sufficient academic progress guidelines are eligible for both the baccalaureate degree and the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree.

Students who enter the second or third year of the preveterinary medical program (with Advanced Levels, International Baccalaureate, or CAPE) must complete additional coursework to be eligible for this degree.  Applicants interested in this program will be evaluated for transfer credit.
