Eighty students are admitted to the professional degree program at the college each year, and requests for application continue to increase. At present, approximately one student is selected for every five who apply for admision. The college curriculum is designed to provide educational opportunities that will allow and encourage students to acquire the knowledge, skills, experiences, values and attitudes necessary to become, and to remain, high-quality veterinarians. The curriculum requires general training concerning health and disease of a broad range of domestic animals and wildlife, yet provides opportunities for students to gain more in-depth training in selected species of animals or disciplines. Three phases of study within the veterinary medical curriculum are conceptually based on the study of the normal animal in the first year, the study of disease processes and therapy in the second year, and clinical coursework and applications in the third and fourth years.
Opportunities are also available for students to develop individualized programs of study.
In order to maintain the highest quality learning environment, the college respects each individual as a member of our community, and therefore expects all members of the college community to interact in ways which are respectful of each individual regardless of race, religion, ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation or disability.
