The Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine has a long history of successful pipeline programs since its inception in 1945. The purpose of these pipeline programs was to increase underrepresented minorities (URMs), particularly African Americans in the veterinary profession. The College has increased the number of pipeline programs designed to provide educational opportunities to URM students desiring to achieve a veterinary career that need support or have other challenges applying to or entering a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program.
Students from pipeline programs are required to meet the DVM program criteria. If the students do not meet the criteria, they are required to enroll in and successfully complete the Summer Enhancement and Reinforcement Program (SERP) and/or enroll in the non-thesis Master’s degree program in the graduate program at Tuskegee University. Successful completion of these enhancement programs are required and the applicant is re-evaluated prior to admission into the DVM program.
