The DVM Program
After a comprehensive evaluation and matriculation of its inaugural cohort of 42 students on August 11, 2025, the Utah State University College of Veterinary Medicine has been granted Provisional Accreditation from the American Veterinary Medical Association – Council on Education launching our new four-year veterinary program. Offering a full Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree advances our commitment to animal health, public health, and biomedical sciences in Utah and throughout the region. Utah State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine is established on a strong tradition of innovation, adherence to One Health principles, and dedication to serving both local and global communities. We encourage you to discover how our college is preparing our students to become leaders and innovators in their chosen careers in veterinary and biomedical sciences. Having received Provisional Accreditation, the next accreditation site visit has been scheduled for November 15 to 18, 2026.
