Future Plans
USU is currently a partner in the Washington–Idaho–Montana–Utah (WIMU) Regional Program in Veterinary Medicine. Our veterinary medicine students spend their first two years in Utah and finish the last two years of their Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree at Washington State University. Currently, 30 students are admitted to USU’s program each year. With the creation of the USU College of Veterinary Medicine, students will be able to spend all four years in Utah. Eventually, 80 students will be admitted each year, with 40 of those being Utah residents.
The Utah State University College of Veterinary Medicine offers a professional degree in veterinary medicine in partnership with Washington State University. Students in our program work toward earning doctor of veterinary medicine (DVM) degrees.
