 Accreditation StatusCurrent Accreditation Status
 In March 2003, the AVMA Council on Education (COE) upgraded the accreditation status of the Western University of Health Sciences College of Veterinary Medicine to Provisional Accreditation. This status indicates that we have admitted our first class while implementing the plan for college development that the COE has approved. I submit biannual reports on progress in implementing various parts of our plan every January and July.
The next steps in the accreditation process include full site visits by representatives of the COE in October, 2004, and Spring, 2007, and application for Full Accreditation, which can be conferred after we have graduated our first class in the Spring of 2007.The American Veterinary Medical Association has recognized the quality of our academic plan and the tremendous partnership of our college with veterinarians throughout Southern California. We are going to take many of the innovations in veterinary medicine proposed or implemented in the last two decades and weave them into an innovative and visionary educational model for the 21st century. Our commitments to student centered learning, strategic alliances with area practices and a reverence for life philosophy will most surely impact veterinary education nationally and internationally. Thank you to our many, many colleagues and partners for their efforts in helping bring about this approval. Shirley D.
