The first graduating class of NCSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine graduated with their DVMs in 1985. This college is devoted to preparing veterinarian and veterinarian scientists while advancing animal and human health. North Caroline State University CVM is one of the youngest veterinary programs in the United States. Even so, the College has gained national and international recognition on the strength of its teaching, research, engagement, and patient care efforts.
In addition to the 4-year DVM program, there are programs that lead to master and doctoral degrees in several areas with numerous opportunities for specializing in fields of interest. The CVM is unique from other veterinary schools and colleges due to its on-site Teaching Animal Unit that acts as a working farm and gives students hands-on large animal medicine experience, plus it gives students a sense of agriculture principles and farm technology.
