There are a total of 27 veterinary schools
in the United States, each school setting it’s own admission
requirements. MSU students are encouraged to meet frequently
with their Preveterinary advisor to keep abreast of the changes
that may occur in admission requirements.
Association
of American Veterinary Medical Colleges
The Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, was
designed in 1953 to serve the professional needs of the residents
of the western region. Through programs such as the PSEP,
Professional Student Exchange Program, it provides affordable
access to professions not currently available in certain states
of the western region. Professional programs not available
in Montana include veterinary medicine, medicine, podiatry,
osteopathic medicine, optometry, occupational therapy and
public health. Each state appropriates funding for a certain
number of residents in exchange for in-state tuition costs,
a guaranteed number of slots in each entering class and an
increase in the professional work force returning to Montana.
This support fee is analogous to the subsidy provided by the
state for residents in the Montana University System. The
WICHE commission sets the support fee for each program that
the participating state pays into the program.
The number of students accepted is dependant upon the number
of slots the Montana legislature allows in the Commissioner
for Higher Education's budget, the number of Montana
WICHE slots the veterinary schools set aside, and the number
of qualified applicants there are each year. In 1993 the Montana
legislature cut funding for the veterinary WICHE support fees
down from ten students to five. The five positions were held
in place until 1997. In 1997 the Commissioner for Higher Education
requested and received an increase of this number to 7 students
per year for veterinary medicine. The Commissioner for Higher
Education increased the number of students supported to 9
for the years 2001 and 2002.
