The College
The College of Veterinary Medicine offers an in-person professional program that requires four years of full-time academic and clinical study of the normal and abnormal structure and function of the animal body and the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of animal disease at the Ithaca Campus.
Graduates of the college receive the doctor of veterinary medicine (D.V.M.) degree, which is recognized by licensing boards throughout the world. Graduates generally enter private practice or academia, or become engaged in one of an increasing number of biomedical activities.
Graduate programs in veterinary research and postdoctoral training in clinical specialties are open to doctors of veterinary medicine and some highly qualified holders of baccalaureate degrees and lead to the degree of master of science or doctor of philosophy.
More detailed information is available at the College of Veterinary Medicine website.
Note: 5000- and 6000-level courses are open only to veterinary students except by written permission from the instructor.
The College of Veterinary Medicine’s professional curriculum comprises courses in two categories: Foundation and Elective Courses .
Courses contributing to the D.V.M. degree begin with VTMED.
Admissions
Every year our faculty have the distinct privilege of reviewing a strong pool of applicants who demonstrate solid academic backgrounds, great promise for a future in veterinary medicine and evidence of outstanding performance in past endeavors. We look for individuals with integrity and maturity who have concern for others, leadership potential, a dedication to service, and an aptitude for working with people. Our Holistic Admissions Formula provides insight in how we review applications. In addition to an extensive application that includes a personal statement, short answer questions, and veterinary & animal experiences, we review letters of evaluation (from minimally a veterinarian, college professor, and one other person) and college transcript information. The prerequisites required for the program can be found on the College of Veterinary Medicine website.
