Washington-Idaho-Utah (WIU) Regional Program in Veterinary Medicine
There are some exciting new things happening at the college this spring!
Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine (WSU CVM) has
long been partners with the state of Idaho and the Western Interstate
Commission of Higher Education (WICHE) program. We are now very pleased to
announce a new educational partnership program with Utah State University
(USU). Starting this current application cycle, students selected into the
Utah track within the WIU program will spend their first two years in Logan,
Utah where much of the curriculum will be taught by the faculty of USU’s
Department of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences (ADVS), paralleling the
curriculum taught in Pullman. USU boasts internationally recognized faculty
members, cutting edge technology, and excellent animal and research
facilities. Parts of the first two years will be taught by Pullman-based
faculty, and the final two years are completed at the WSU CVM in Pullman,
WA. The WSU CVM is one of the nation’s top veterinary schools with world
leaders in all areas of veterinary medicine and offers students the
opportunity to take advantage of a large and diverse caseload during the
heavy clinical portion of the program. Students accepted to this program
earn a DVM degree from WSU College of Veterinary Medicine conferred by the
Regents of Washington State University, with joint recognition of Utah State
University. The regional program allows students the unique educational
opportunity to experience world class education from two distinguished
universities. The Utah track will accept 20 Utah resident applicants and up
to 10 non-resident applicants per year. As has previously been the case, all
applications to the WIU program, regardless of state of residency, will do
so through the VMCAS online service (by choosing Washington State University
as the CVM applying to); an additional WSU CVM supplemental application is
also required. Additional information regarding the application process and
how this is affected by your residency status will be available soon.
