BIOMED: Undergraduate Biomedical Sciences
 In
addition to the four-year professional curriculum leading
to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree, the college
offers a variety of undergraduate courses. Currently the college
does not offer a major or minor in any of the departments.
However, courses serve as electives for other degree programs,
a component to the Bachelor of General Studies degree, and
as partial requirements in the Pre-veterinary Medicine Scholars
program.
Certificate of Achievement in Biomedical
Sciences
A dean's certificate of achievement is awarded to any student
who takes at least 15 credit hours in BIOMED courses and achieves
a BIOMED GPA of 3.0, or higher, with no less than a C- in
any BIOMED course on the first attempt.

for entering the College of Veterinary Medicine.
The MU College of Veterinary Medicine is
affiliated with the Mid-Missouri Associated Colleges And Universities
(MMACU), a consortium Of MU, Williams Woods University, Stephens
College, Westminster College, and Lincoln University. Full-time
undergraduate students at the five member colleges may take
courses for credit on any of the five campuses. The intent
of cross-registration is to support students' educational
needs when a desired course is unavailable at the home institution
or when there are inherent schedule conflicts. Forms and additional
information are available from the MMACU office, 11 Jesse
Hall, 573-882-6598.
