Professional Program in Veterinary Medicine

University of Nebraska–Lincoln & Iowa State University

Dual Application

The Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine (ISU) and the University of Nebraska –Lincoln Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources (UNL) have established the ISU-UNL Professional Program in Veterinary Medicine (ISU-UNL PPVM).  Under this program, 25 Nebraska resident students who are admitted to ISU will enroll and complete the first two years of the veterinary curriculum at UNL and the last two years at ISU.  The 25 Nebraska resident students will pay ISU resident veterinary tuition for all four years of enrollment with the tuition for the first two years paid to UNL and for the last two years to ISU.

Nebraska students who wish to participate in this program must apply to Iowa State following steps are required.

  1. Apply to Iowa State University through the regular application process.  All applications must be received by October 3, 2011, 1:00 pm noon Eastern Time.
  2. Complete the Nebraska Resident Certification Form. These forms must be received at UNL by October 3, 2011.

Nebraska residents may be considered for admission directly to ISU under the following process: All Nebraska residents will be first considered in the ISU-UNL PPVM process.  During the period of time that the applicant is viable in the UNL applicant pool, the application will not be further processed at ISU. Following final decisions of offers for the ISU-UNL PPVM program, Nebraska resident applications not accepted into that program will be considered in the ISU non-resident/non-contract applicant pool.  Although this alternate route exists, Nebraska residents will be most competitive for admission through the ISU-UNL PPVM program described above.
