Thirty credits earned over one to two years are required to graduate from the program.
Lisa K. Nolan, Georgia Athletics Association distinguished professor and dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine, says the program could not have been developed at a better time. “Students in this program will receive a broad curriculum of knowledge that will be of great benefit to them in their pursuits—all from the safety of their homes,” she says in a press release announcing the program.
Applications for the fall 2020 semester are due July 1. For more information, visit the UGA College of Veterinary Medicine’s
