If you're already a Purdue student and thinking about changing your major to Veterinary Nursing, you're in the right place.
The College of Veterinary Medicine welcomes students who are ready to pursue a career as a veterinary nurse. Whether you're exploring a new path or taking the next step in your academic journey, we’re here to guide you through the process.
Any questions about changing majors into Veterinary Nursing should begin with the Purdue Veterinary Medicine Admissions Office. We're your one-stop resource—we can answer most questions directly, or connect you with the right person who can.

If you're interested in joining the on-campus Veterinary Nursing program, the process for changing your degree—known at Purdue as Change of Degree Objective (CODO)—is outlined at Purdue's CODO requirements page. Be sure to review the eligibility criteria and academic expectations before applying.
If you're considering our Veterinary Nursing Distance Learning program, the application process differs slightly. VNDL has its own application process.
