College of Veterinary Medicine

The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) was founded in 2012 and graduated its inaugural class of 102 veterinary students in 2018. The College offers a four-year curriculum that prepares veterinarians to provide exemplary animal care and impact the world by improving animal and human health through research, scholarly activity, and service to the public.
