In the first year at BGSU, students may enroll as "pre-health professional." They may change to "pre-veterinary medicine" when they have completed at least 30 hours of coursework, have declared a major, and have completed BIOL 205, CHEM 125, and CHEM 127-128. These courses must be taken for a grade. Upon completion of 30 hours of coursework and the above-mentioned courses, students must have BOTH an overall 3.25 GPA and a 3.25 Biology/Chemistry/Physics/Math GPA. Upon meeting these criteria, students may contact their college office to replace the label of "pre-health professional" with "pre-veterinary medicine." If students do not meet these criteria after 30 hours, they may keep their "pre-health professional" label for up to 60 hours. If a student has met the above criteria after 60 hours of coursework, then he or she may change to "pre-veterinary medicine." Once students have changed to "pre-veterinary medicine," they will be expected to meet with their advisors regularly to plan their coursework for subsequent semesters. If, after 60 hours, the above criteria still have not been met, students must drop the "pre-health professional" label and must also meet with an advisor to re-evaluate future goals. Transfer students must enroll as "pre-health professional" for the first semester at BGSU; if, after one semester at BGSU, the student's overall and Biology/Chemistry/Physics/Math GPA are a 3.25, then he/she may change to "pre-veterinary medicine."
