Other Requirements

Optional SAT/ACT Testing

A holistic review of each applicant is at the center of our approach to enrolling a diverse group of students that strengthens the UVM community. UVM does not require international students to send SAT or ACT scores as part of the application process. We also recognize the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly limited access to testing sites and resources. Therefore, all applicants including US citizens abroad are not required to submit standardized test scores for Fall 2021 through Fall 2023, but are welcome to do so if they feel it will contribute to their academic record. Both the Common Application and the Coalition Application allow you to indicate if you want your standardized test scores considered.

Students who choose not to submit test scores will not be disadvantaged in any way, as all applicants will be considered for admission, merit scholarships, and selection to the UVM Honors College.

  • UVM’s College Board/SAT Code: 3920

  • UVM ACT Code: 4322

Send your official scores to the University of Vermont (official only if submitted directly from the testing agency*). You may send results for all tests you take; our admissions evaluation will consider your highest scores.

*Students applying through the Coalition Application can upload scores directly through their application.

Optional Interview

International applicants are welcome to participate in an optional interview. The interview will be used as part of the holistic review process, and it will be one among many factors that will be considered when reviewing your application. Options to participate:

  • Online Platform: Vericant or InitialView

  • Personal interview with an International Admissions Team member

Course Information

Animal and Veterinary Science is the area of biology that deals with dairy, equine, zoos, exotics and companion animals.

What is outstanding about Animal and Veterinary Science at UVM?

When studying this discipline at UVM, students, with assistance from faculty advisors, develop individualized programs in one of four focus areas that each lead to a B.S. degree. These programs apply to farms, laboratories, zoos, and companion animals; their interaction with human society; and the contribution of animal products, such as milk and meat, to the world food supply.

UVM Animal and Veterinary Science majors receive a hands-on experience that shapes them to be job-ready at graduation.

All focus areas concentrate on:

  • Science-based curriculum: Program of study includes animal biology, nutrition, genetics, animal health, biology, chemistry, and math, coupled with a liberal education.

  • Undergraduate research and internships: Research opportunities are abundant and students can pursue or develop internships related to animal and veterinary sciences.

  • Hands-on experience: UVM facilities are poised to provide a combination of classroom, barn, and laboratory time.

  • Positive and friendly environment: Students are nurtured to maximize achievements and place themselves in a favorable position for subsequent career development.
