Notes:

Students completing Calculus and/or specific foreign languages at UVM will be required to complete placement tests prior to registering into these courses at UVM.

Students with applied transfer credit to their CCV degree and other transfer credits must send an official transcript from each transcribing institution to UVM. How transfer credits are accepted by CCV may differ from UVM’s policies. Please note that this includes evaluation of AP, IB, and CLEP scores. 

Contact Undergraduate Admissions, transfer.apply@uvm.edu with questions about minimum admissions requirements and about transfer credits from other institutions.  

NH 1500 – App to Hlth: From Pers to Syst. is waived for transfer students.

Students can utilize summer session at UVM to provide more balance to their schedules. 

Students can also divide their junior year curriculum into two years, which would then require a total of three years to complete UVM requirements. Pathway scholarships still require full-time enrollment (minimum of 12 credits).  Final year at UVM cannot be lightened due to clinical rotations.

Students in programs offered by the Department of Biomedical and Health Sciences (BHSC) must maintain and graduate with a cumulative grade point average of 2.30 or higher. 

Students select one concentration at the end of their second year.

Students in Applied Biomedical Science plan to pursue careers in research, industry, or as a healthcare professional. This concentration provides students with a foundation of knowledge and skills which are appealing to numerous areas of study including biotechnology, pharmacology, veterinary science, agricultural science, and even forensics and public health. Applied biomedical science students will complete an internship or research at an approved industry partner. 

Medical laboratory science students complete course work which prepares them for practica in medical laboratories where they will apply their biomedical knowledge and technical skills and further learn about the health and disease status of patients.

Public health laboratory scientists work in public health laboratories at the state, federal, and international levels. The curriculum focuses on the use of microbiology and molecular biology in the field of public health, in support of epidemiology, and to monitor health status and disease prevention strategies.In the fourth year, the final semester consists of a full time medical or public health laboratory practicum, or an applied biomedical research or internship at an off-campus affiliate site, which may require additional room, meal, and/or transportation expenses. Site selection for the final semester is determined by a lottery system.

Students must complete 30 of their last 45 credits at UVM to earn a UVM degree.

Information related to Academic Honors can be found in the UVM undergraduate catalogue. Please note: to graduate with Latin Honors, a student must have taken at least sixty credits at UVM in which a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or F has been awarded.
