During this first year of the St. George’s University preveterinary track, your coursework focuses on fundamental science education in chemistry and biology.

SGU’s 7-year entry point offers a solid foundation to prepare you for the rigorous veterinary medicine education experienced during the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree program.

Dual BSc/DVM Degree Option

By entering SGU’s 7-year preveterinary program, you may be eligible to earn a Bachelor of Science on your way to completing your Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. The BSc/DVM option allow you to complete your undergraduate degree in three years of undergraduate and preveterinary medical courses.

St. George’s University launched the School of Veterinary Medicine in 1999 to deliver quality medical education in an international setting, and to be one of the top veterinary schools in the world.

SGU’s veterinary medicine program offers students a unique, innovative, and international approach to veterinary medicine. Our program integrates basic science curriculum into clinical practice with the use of simulation models and case-based teaching. Students may enter a four-, five-, six-, or seven-year academic program leading to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree, depending upon their academic qualifications upon entry.

Early Veterinary Medicine Clinical Experience

Our School of Veterinary Medicine graduates not only score well on the NAVLE compared to students from US schools, but SGU veterinary medicine students also gain hands-on training a year earlier than in most programs.

Accredited School of Veterinary Medicine DVM Program

The School of Veterinary Medicine is now one of the few schools in the world to be accredited by both the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education (AVMA COE) in the United States and Canada, as well as the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) in the United Kingdom.

Veterinary Dual-Degree Programs

Become a leader in a veterinarian practice or as a research veterinarian by earning a dual degree that combines your veterinarian degree with a Master of Public Health (MPH), Master of Science (MSc), or a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.

On-Campus Animal Clinic

Our Small Animal Clinic and Large Animal Facility provide students with a level of hands-on training and experience not often seen until the final year of veterinary education.
