The Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program emphasizes the importance of core training in comparative biology and medicine, including all primary clinical disciplines and domestic animal species. Opportunities exist for elective training across a wide variety of more specialized subjects, such as zoo, exotics, and wildlife medicine, marine sciences, clinical nutrition, and various clinical specialties (cardiology, Theriogenology And Production, theriogenology, surgerya and many Other).

Graduation Requirement

The minimum number of credit units required for graduation by candidate entering 100L is 120, while for those entering at 200 levels is 90. The implication of this is that a student who was admitted at 100 levels must aspire to earn not less than 30 credit units per session. Those who fail to achieve this goal usually end up spending extra sessions in order to qualify for graduation.
