College of Veterinary Medicine  (CVM)

The College of Veterinary Medicine stands as a new paradigm in veterinary medical education: an innovative student-centered curriculum that is delivered cost-effectively in cooperation with other educational institutions and the private sector. Instruction and clinical opportunities are provided in a wide variety of domestic and exotic species. The college sustains a vibrant and diverse faculty and student body (see student statistics below), where cooperative learning, public service, and scholarship flourish.
