Creating a Culture of Innovation
Designed from the ground up to equip students with the skills needed for a career in veterinary medicine today, The University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine is revolutionizing how future veterinarians learn. Progressive hands-on learning, a student-centered curriculum and team-based training take students out of the classroom. Interpersonal skills, business acumen, leadership and well-being are vital elements in a program that prepares day-one, career-ready professionals.
The Kemper and Ethel Marley Foundation Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program
Our three-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program provides the foundation in veterinary medicine and surgery that future practitioners need, plus the professional and clinical skills critical for success. The degree is delivered over six pre-clinical semesters in on-campus facilities, followed by three clinical semesters within a network of training sites that allows each student to experience the profession actively.
