The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) considers, evaluates and promotes teaching as a critical mission for the College. The Dean supervises and directs all assessment activities and educational programs within the College. The DVM assessment responsibility has been delegated to the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs. The assessment and curricula for the Graduate programs are the responsibility of the Department Head of the Veterinary Clinical and Life Science department. The Curriculum Committee comprises 7 faculty members with significant teaching assignments and the Office of Student Services personnel. The Graduate assessment is delegated to the Graduate Programs Committee (GPC). This Committee consists of 3 faculty members with significant research appointments and the Graduate Program Coordinator. In addition, the Department Head on occasion may appoint internal and external ad hoc committees to advise on curriculum relevance and program direction.
Assessments Data
The new College of Veterinary Medicine, which was approved in early 2022 by the Utah State Legislature, formed an independent four-year program which includes the construction of a new college building and a full four-year program in Utah. Accreditation with the Council of Education (COE) of the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) is in process. Our expectation is to start the first cohort of 40 students in the fall of 2025. It will continue to increase enrollment to full capacity of 80 students being admitted each year, with 40 of those being Utah residents.
