The College of Veterinary Medicine at The Ohio State University was established in 1885 after the OSU Board of Trustees petitioned the legislature for the establishment of a veterinary college in the area. The school was renamed the College of Veterinary Medicine in 1897. From 1885-1914, the curriculum was covered in 3 years and increased to 4 years in 1915. Since it’s first graduating class, the school has educated and handed out more than 7,200 DVMs.
Admission into the College is granted only for the fall quarter of each year and only on a full-time basis. The selection process is designed to admit applicants who excel academically and who have additional training and experience with animals and veterinary medicine.
