The LMU-CVM graduate programs each have specific admissions requirements and policies, which are outlined in detail within the General LMU Graduate Catalog. For specific requirements for each program, please refer to the Graduate Catalog, available here[KT1] .
Each Master’s degree program (Master of Veterinary Biomedical Science, Master of Veterinary Education, and Master of Veterinary Clinical Care) requires applicants to hold at the time of their matriculation a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree.
Additionally, all LMU-CVM graduate programs (degrees and certificate) require all applicants to complete the PostbacCAS application with the PostbacCAS and LMU-CVM application fees paid, submit official transcripts via PostbacCAS for all institutions at which coursework was attempted or completed, submit program-specific personal statements or statements of intent, letters of recommendation, and CVs or resumes. Some programs may require additional documentation to prove licensure or credentials. Refer to the General LMU Graduate Catalog for specific admissions requirements for each program.
Matriculation Process
Seat Deposit
Upon each accepted applicant’s admission decision notification, a $250.00 non-refundable seat deposit will be assigned to the student’s MyLMU account. This deposit will be applied to the cost of the student’s tuition for the semester. Seat deposits must be paid by July 10, 2024, for the 2024 Fall semester; students can pay the seat deposit via their MyLMU account. Information on how to access the student’s email address and log into MyLMU are included with the acceptance packet.
For the 2025 Spring semester, the seat deposit must be paid by December 13, 2024.
Confirmation of Attendance Form
In addition to the seat deposit, each accepted applicant must complete and sign a program-specific “Confirmation of Attendance” form, which serves as the applicant’s commitment to attend the LMU-CVM graduate program to which they applied and were accepted. The Confirmation of Attendance form is due July 10, 2024, for the 2024 Fall semester; for the 2025 Spring semester, the Confirmation of Attendance form must be returned by December 13, 2024.
The LMU-CVM reserves the right to revoke an offer of admission from an applicant who fails to return their Confirmation of Attendance form by the posted deadline. Any accepted applicant who paid a seat deposit but failed to submit their Confirmation of Attendance form by the deadline forfeits the seat deposit in the event the admission offer is revoked.
