I am attending a college through correspondence and distance learning and there name is PENN FOSTER COLLEGE.

Please let me know as soon as possible, will a lot of proof Penn Foster College is a U.S. Distance Education college.

  1. Some of the courses from Penn Foster would probably transfer to meet the vet school's pre-requisites. Not all of them will though. Vet schools will not accept a "lab" course that was taken entirely on-line. Just because a school is accredited doesn't mean that the vet school has to accept all the courses. They will want to see the syllabus from any of their required courses to determine if they will meet that requirement or not. I don't have any proof, because every school is different and what one school will accept another won't. Contact the vet school you are wanting to go to directly, but you will have to have course descriptions and a syllabus from all the required courses. Chances are many lower level courses without labs will transfer, but I highly doubt that everything will transfer. Many vet schools are very picky about the courses that they accept.
